[phenixbb] Occupancy refinement of secondary conformation doesn't add up to 1.00

[Benjamin Stauch]

Hi Pavel,

many thanks, and great guess - there is indeed a TER between two
conformers. I imagine deleting this will solve my problem. As for my second
question, probably I would need to do something along the lines of example
#4 in your link and define a constrained_group?

Thanks!

Ben
