I've never used this GUI, but I know that under the hood you want each
A/B to have its own group ID and then specify that the two groups sum to
one. The keywords look like this:
occupancy refine
occupancy group id 1 chain A residue 318 alt A
occupancy group id 2 chain A residue 318 alt B
occupancy group id 3 chain A residue 400 alt A
occupancy group id 4 chain A residue 400 alt B
occupancy group id 5 chain A residue 500 atom ZN
occupancy group alts complete 1 2
occupancy group alts complete 3 4
occupancy group alts incomplete 5
Where here I am specifying that all of residue 318 is in either A or B
and that the sum of every A and B should be 1.00, and all "A" atoms have
the same occupancy as other "A" atoms, etc. Same for a residue 400 as
well. I am also specifying that there is a Zn atom with unknown
occupancy and to refine that too. No need to sum to anything.
The GUI in your screenshot may be reflecting this syntax.
My go-to documentation for refmac occupancy refinement is here:
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/data/refmac_keywords.html
And my jiffy script for setting up keywords like the above given a PDB
file is here:
https://github.com/jmholton/refmac_tools_jmh/blob/main/refmac_occupancy_setup.com
(note that I have uploaded it into github so that it looks like I know
what I'm doing)
Does that help?

Dear all,
I have a 1.5 angstrom resolution crystal structure with 6 residues
that have dual conformation. In the past I haven't had this many, so I
have refined the occupancies by iteratively adjusting them in coot.
I'm trying to refine the occupancies in REFMAC5 using the 'conformer
groups and occupancy refinement' option in parameterisation but I'm
not getting the results I want. One attempt refined both conformers
with an occupancy of 1, another refined both with an occupancy of
0.54. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help with correcting
my inputs.
I selected 'specify overlapping alternative conformation groups
(constrain occupancies to sum to one)' and 'specify partial occupancy
groups' where I have added chain 'A' and set residue 'from' and 'to'
as both 318 (This was to just test this feature I will add the other 5
residues once it's working).
I also have 'perform refinement of atomic occupancies' selected.
I can't see what is wrong, I have also tried adding A/B to '(Alt)'
column and also duplicating the row to specify the two conformers.
Nothing has given me values I would expect (only ever 0.54 or 1.0 for
both conformations). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kyle
