[phenixbb] Preferred treatment of residues with no electron density

[Mark Saper]

What is the preferred method for handling missing residues or residues with zero occupancy, in terms of PBD submission?

I see three options:
	Remove them from the model
	set occupancy=0 and flag in REMARKs 475 and 480
	keep occupancy=1 and allow the temperature factors to climb

I have a disordered region in my molecule which I am restraining to a portion of a structure in which that region is well resolved.  There are several residues that have no density in the current refinement, yet I want to keep them in the model.  Suggestions?

Mark
