[phenixbb] Geometry Restraints

[Pavel Afonine]

Tim,

the methods described in the paper you mention below are shown to work 
for some selected structures taken from PDB ( that is overall good 
structures). This is not Mario's case, unfortunately. It is not 
demonstrated that this methodology would work for poor models.

All the best,
Pavel
