[phenixbb] zero B-factors

[Diana Tomchick]

I have had this problem in the past for refinement of some low resolution datasets. The problem resolved itself when I elected to optimize both the X-ray/stereochemistry and the X-ray/ADP weights. It adds some time to the refinement cycles, but I always have lots of other things to do while I'm waiting for the job to finish.

If you are using the Phenix GUI, then look under the refinement results "Atomic properties" tab which reports ADP statistics. This should provide you a listing of atoms with problematic ADP values.
