  Hi Dalibor,

did you have a look at " _*Occupancy refinement*_" section in

http://www.phenix-online.org/documentation/refinement.htm

I'm not sure I fully understand the question...
In the example below I see residue #30 has two conformations, A and B, 
and they are automatically constrained-refined in phenix.refine and 
their sum adds up to 1 (0.52+0.48).
Same for residue #451.

Although I see that occupancy of "AGLU A 30 " = occupancy of "AALA A 451 
", it is not guaranteed in refinement, since otherwise that would be a 
double-constrained refinement:

constraint #1: occupancy(AGLU A 30) + occupancy(BGLU A 30)=1
constraint #2: occupancy(AGLU A 30) = occupancy(AALA A 451)

which is not currently available.

May be if you could explain some more with more examples we could find a 
solution...

Pavel.
