[phenixbb] Partially occupied side chains in special position

Hi Nick,

could you please try using "custom_nonbonded_symmetry_exclusions" 
parameter to specify selections for involved atoms to be excluded from 
non-bonded interactions. If this does not help, please send me PDB file 
(and optionally data file) and specify which atoms do not behave as 
expected.

Example:

custom_nonbonded_symmetry_exclusions="(chain A and resseq 123 and altloc 
A) or (chain B and resseq 345 and sidechain) or (chain Z and element Zn)"

See phenix.refine command-line manual for more examples illustrating 
atom selection syntax. You can do it from the command line or using the GUI.

I will not have email from a few hours from now till mid of next week, 
so I may not respond very quickly.

Pavel
