Hi everyone,

I am using refine.py to refine a structure in Xplor-NIH and submitted the top 20
structures to the PSVS server for validation.  The models came back with a high
MolProbity clash score (~51) indicating VDW clashes.

I checked the output of script.out for all the models and there is this error
statement at the end

Powell::step: irregular exit: Line search abandoned: gradient may be incorrect

.xplorInput.30541(379):     pass


Structures were still created and they have few violations and good rmsds.  I
wonder if any cartesian minimization is being done to my structures or if this
error message indicates that the program abandoned minimization but still
created structures.  Is there any way to increase the number of steps in the
final minimization and does anyone have an example script ( I am new to
xplor-nih and python).

Thanks,

Ed
