XPLO2D from the USF-Suite does this:

<snippet from manual>
You feed it a PDB file of the model to which you want to restrain your refinement model (e.g., that high-resolution native structure you already have, even though it may be in a different spacegroup or with different domain orientations). The program generates an X-PLOR include file which contains DIHEdral statements for the PHI, PSI, CHI-1 and CHI-2 torsions of the protein. If you protein contains a hinge region, simply remove or comment-out the relevant PHI and PSI restraints. If you don't want to impose restraints on CHI-1 and/or CHI-2, set the corresponding weights to zero (at the top of the X-PLOR include file).

I never tried, but this will be compatible with phenix as well.
Cheers

Does anyone have a good way of imposing secondary structure restraints in a low resolution refinement?

I've done this in the past as hydrogen bond distance restraints within helices, input to refmac as "LINK"s , with the list generated with a little program and certain amount of pain

refmac now accepts an explicit list of external restraints, as does phenix.refine, but I'm looking for a way of generating these lists for quite a large structure without too much hackery, perhaps from a hydrogen-bond or secondary structure assignment program. Helices are reasonably straightforward (I can see how to do them from eg DSSP), but sheets are more complicated.

Any suggestions? I'm sure that someone must have done this

Phil
