but the among upsides, knowing you are using the most up-to-date
version and not having to install anything, for me outweigh the
downside.
in any case, now the molprobity server seems to work again (yesterday
and this morning it didn't for me) and whatcheck here also works:
http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/servers/html/index.html
and has additional functionalities
although I found the biotech server, which ran many tests
automatically, more convenient in some respects.
