Hai Robert,
The YASARA software has all these facilities built-in, and YASARA runs
on most computers and most smart-phones. It is not a specialist X-ray
software like Coot, Frodo, O, etc, but it does many X-ray 'friendly'
things like structure normalisation, energy minimisation, structure
validation, etc., and it make good cover figures
(http://www.yasara.org/papers.htm).
Greetings
Gert
