[phenixbb] [ccp4bb] Phenix refine distorting a sidechain despite correct density

[Folmer Fredslund]

Dear Igor

There's a phenix bulletin board for question like this, which is where you
should post the question. ( I crosspost here)


I would choose to not do the real space refinement in phenix.refine during
the last rounds of refinement of a model, when sidechain positions are
essentially correct.


I hope this helps

Folmer
