Hello,

I have 4 molecules.
If I use Phaser's AUTO_MR with all default parameters on them,
I get the following scores:

         no_modif remove_H
molecule RFZ TFZ  RFZ TFZ
1        6.9 9.6  7.0 9.4
2        5.2 5.9  5.4 6.2
3        4.2 4.5  4.7 5.2
4        4.9 6.8  5.2 6.7

Hence, here are my existential questions, given that I heard
many times "H is transparent for X-rays":
* should I always remove H before running Phaser?
* why?

Here are a few lines of one of my PDBs containing H, in case it is
misinterpreted by Phaser:

Thanks a lot,
Francois.
