Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your informative and prompt reply.
On reexamining the output, I think then that I misunderstood the output.
The NBCs listed below are from *refinement* analysis, not molprobity
analysis. I was mislead because there were no NBCs listed in the
Molprobity part of the log file.
Yes, you are right, the output of phenix.clashscore was what I actually
wanted, not phenix.molprobity and a .geo file.
Regards,
Paul.
