[phenixbb] Phenix.refine ignores ligand planarity restraint

[Tim Gruene]

Dear Maike,

did you read the log file to see whether any of your restraints get 
acknowledged by phenix.refine? There can be many reasons why they are not, 
e.g. mismatching atom names, mismatching residue abbreviation, ...

Regards,
Tim
