No. Better way is restraining internal degrees of freedom. Something
like elastic network model:
Tirion MM (1996) Phys Rev Letters 77 pp 1905-1908
But care should be taken with weights and which distances should be
restrained.
Fiixing position is not good way of using prior information (In my
view of course, which is debatable)

Is that also how you would restrain refinement at low resolution
when using a high-resolution model? (e.g. a 1.8A model into 4A data)

In newer version of refmac you can use harmonic restraints. Take
the new stable version of refmac from
www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/YSBLPrograms/index.jsp
and use harmonic restraints as described in:
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~garib/refmac/data/refmac_news.html
<http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/%7Egarib/refmac/data/refmac_news.html>
Keyword is:
external harmonic residues from [residue_number] [chain_name] to
[residue_number] [chain_name] sigma [value] sigma 0.1
With the current ccp4i version you can use developers option and
add an external keyword file that contains this keyword for
residues you want to fix.
I hope it helps.

How one can fix position of few residues when refining in SHELX
or Refmac5.
Thanks. Sam.
