Thanks Justin for the reply. I did read the help and manual and understand that the output file can be the whole or part of the calculation group. What I don't quite understand is what the output group represents. I am assuming that the calculation group would be the group of atoms that will be probed to determine the solvent accessible are. If so, what does the output group represent?
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Justin A.
