PLAT790 Type_4 Test whether centre-of-gravity of a residue is within the unit-cell box
Unless for a good reason, molecular species should be transformed (by symmetry and/or translation) so that their centres of gravity are close to or within the unit-cell bounds. This is a strict rule for the main species. Deviations from this general rule are for smaller additional species when relevant for intermolecular interactions with the main species.
