Selects residues that have the highest per-residue energy. This task operation is stochastic to allow for variation in design regions. Residues are selected by this task operation as follows. First, all residues are ranked in order of total score of a region which consists of a sphere around the residue. Next, the first residue is selected based on a random number generator. The first residue in the list (the one with highest (worst) score) has a 50% probability of being selected, the second residue has 25% probability, and so on. If regions_to_design is > 1, additional residues are selected using the same process, except with previously chosen residues removed from consideration.

Example The following example redesigns a sphere of 8 A radius centered in a poorly scoring region of the pose. Residues outside of the sphere are fixed.
