[phenixbb] Low resolution refinement - rotamers and Ramachandran

could you please send me data and model (before refinement) files then I 
will have a look. Refinement at low resolution is generally tricky and 
often requires using beyond the default settings such as secondary 
structure, rotamer and Ramachandran plot restraints, NCS (at 3.8A 
Cartesian NCS or even NCS constraints might be a better option).

If you send me files I will try plausible options to see what can be done.
