[phenixbb] Multiple conformation, two ligands

[Mayer, Mark (NIH/NICHD) [E]]

I recently had to do this: i.e refine two different ligands in same binding site. I did this keeping ligands in same chain with same resid, using altlocs for the different ligands, and this refined well. 
If you can get cif files for X and Y at full occupancy, then I think you should be able to use these when you refine occupancies with the altloc flags set.

Good luck.

Subject: [phenixbb] Multiple conformation, two ligands

Dear Phenix Community,
  I tried to model two ligands one of which has two conformations. In other words, the two scenarios are: 1) ligand X with conformation A (XA, 75% occupancy); 2) ligand X with conformation B (XB, 25% occupancy) plus another ligand Y. However, the problem is ligand Y will have steric clash with ligand XA. If I rename ligand X and Y to the same residue name then I do not know how to define the CIF file.
  I apologize if this question was asked before and I do not know how Phenix or other refinement can deal with multiple conformation a group of ligands.
Thanks.

Happy new year!
