Thank you Dr. Murshudov for the information. But please I still need help. In restrained refinement, I could not find where to enter the residues I want to restrict from moving much. I was only able to find that in rigid body refinement, so I tried it and got a higher R factor than the initial file (before refinement). Is it normal to get a higher R factor when doing rigid body refinement? if not, any suggestion regarding what could be wrong? Is there a way to restrict one chain or part of a chain from moving much while doing restrained refinement?
