Hi
Sorry I asked my question wrongly. my question is:
In qm-input.pdb file of tutorial for some atoms the occupancy and beta is
1.00 1.00.
I don't know which atoms are included in?
That will be very kind of you if you tell me the reason because I don't
know how I should use it for atoms of my structure.
Best regards
