[phenixbb] How to define a disulfide bond between symmetry related molecules in phenix.refine

Hi Michael,

phenix.refine ignores PDB file header records (or most of them) except 
CRYST1, so adding SSBOND is not going to help.

If this bond is not defined automatically (it should, normally) (you can 
check this by looking it up in .geo file that lists all restraints) then 
you can always define it manually using "Custom bonds" mechanism:
