The syntax below looks correct to me, although you should probably do
the same thing for the ADP selection, but it's a little disturbing
that it's doing this. Do you have rotamer correction turned on? That
may be the problem, if it is trying to fit to the difference density
(I don't think it's very aware of nearby atoms).
