The xrayCross term in the dna_ensemble example does not constitute an
independent cross-validation- it's simply a check as to whether the
curve calculated with 30 q points gives the same behavior as that
calculated with 61. The dna_ensemble and other examples included in
eginput don't include SAXS terms for true cross-validation.
Cross-validation can be achieved by leaving the SAXS term out of the
potList. Another approach sometimes taken is to use only small-angle
SAXS information in the fit, and cross-validate against the curve at
larger angles. This could be done within an Xplor-NIH structure
calculation script, but can also be done after the fact using the
calcSAXS helper and the calculated structures. Please contact me if
you'd like assistance with this.

best regards--
