[phenixbb] Refinement of a complex with a symmetric inhibitor lying on the axis of symmetry

[Ina Lindemann]

Hi,

I try to refine a crystal structure of a protein - inhibitor complex. The
protein is a homodimer and the two molecules have a crystallographic
symmetry. The space group is P6122. The symmetric inhibitor binds
symmetrically to the protein so that I refine the half of it. The core  
of the inhibitor is a five-membered ring with a nitrogen lying  
directly on the axis of symmetry. I achieved to refine this by setting  
the occupancy to 1.0.
And now, here is my problem:
Two C atoms of this ring system are bound across the symmetry axis -  
how could I include this in the refinement? Is there any possibility  
to generate restraints to the other part of the inhibitor (of the  
symmetry equivalent)??


Thanks for your help in advance,

Ina
