[phenixbb] Turn off non-bonded interactions to measure distance in case of unknown interaction

You can use an edits. You can use the slack option to create a flat
bottomed well which will allow the bond to be any value of distance_ideal
plus/minus slack. The sigma curve starts at the border of the slack region.

I have given the example from the on-line docs below.

Cheers

Nigel


refinement.geometry_restraints.edits {
  zn_selection = chain X and resname ZN and resid 200 and name ZN
  his117_selection = chain X and resname HIS and resid 117 and name NE2
  asp130_selection = chain X and resname ASP and resid 130 and name OD1
  bond {
    action = *add
    atom_selection_1 = $zn_selection
    atom_selection_2 = $his117_selection
    symmetry_operation = None
    distance_ideal = 2.1
    sigma = 0.02
    slack = None
  }
