Michael Word - Reduce, Probe, Flipkin, Clashlistcluster, Dang, Scrublines David C. Richardson - Prekin, JavaMage, Mage The original MolProbity was coded by Ian W. Davis in the fall of 2001, as a rotation project in the Richardson laboratory. MolProbity is currently being maintained and updated by Vincent B. Chen, Jeff J. Headd, and David C. Richardson. MolProbity makes particularly heavy use of the programs Reduce and Probe, authored by J. Michael Word. For details, see these references: Word, et. al. (1999) J. Mol. Biol. 285, 1711-1733 Word, et. al. (1999) J. Mol. Biol. 285, 1735-1747 MolProbity also uses standard values for bond and angle geometries, obtained from the following references: Parkinson, et. al.
