[phenixbb] Dual conformation on symmetry axis

[Jan Abendroth]

Hi all,
I am running into the following problem during the refinement of a rather
small structure at 2.15Å resolution:

An Arg side chain is located very close to a crystallographic 2-fold. There
is good evidence that the side chain has two conformations. However,
because of the 2-fold, conformer A overlaps with its symmetry mate A*, as
does conformer B. Phenix wants to avoid this 'clash' and moves A and A* out
of the density, same for B and B*.

Is there a way to avoid this without reducing the symmetry? In the real
crystal, of course the two side chains are agnostic as to if they are
called A or B and will avoid one another ...

Thanks!
Jan
