Hi,
does the server store just the "best" structure of each user? Is this - besides stats - the only thing the server saves?
If that's the case, WHY only the best structure? I mean, it't nice that you store MY best protein, but for example Howard computes proteins 200 times faster than I do - It is quite likely that Howard's second best structure is better than my best I guess (perhaps even his 200th-best - don't know, I am no maths-mastermind).
So, if you send in the five structures to CASP (as I have read somewhere), then all five have to be from a different user. What, if Howards second best strucutre is in fact better than the fifth-best structure we send in ....
I assume the probability is very low that this happens, but I am a bit concerend about wasting good folds :bang:
