I have a partially cleaved RNA, so I would like to try refining with two different dinucleotide segments embedded in the model, one of which has a broken backbone and 2',3'-cyclic phosphate, and the other with a standard phosphodiester backbone. This should be analogous to having two conformations but the covalency would be different.


I'd like to do this in refmac but if it can be done in phenix or CNS that would be ok I guess too.


Any suggestions? The only thing I have come up with is two have the end nucleotides at the cleavage site each in two conformations, and then impose a link on one of these to "fake" the phosphodiester, but this seems like an ugly hack (and I can't seem to get it to work anyway).
