[phenixbb] Non bonded contacts

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Mark,

I suggested to assign them different altlocs, which should work.

Another option I can think of is: if atoms in question make some kind of 
interaction (bond) you can define a pseudo-bond in phenix.refine using 
Custom Bonds machinery (with any bond distance and esd of your choice). 
Defining such bond will automatically turn off the repulsion bethween 
these atoms.

So now I am modeling it as PLP and Lys.  But there is some bridging density.  I want to see how close the Lys would extend if it didn't see the PLP.
