Sir, I used RCSB validation server. Deviations are as given below - Deviation Resi AT1 - AT2 - AT3 Bond Dict Std Angle Value Dev -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.2 ARG NE - CZ - NH1 123.5 120.3 0.5 -3.4 ARG NE - CZ - NH2 116.9 120.3 0.5
Thus its more than 6 sigmas in both the cases. Its not an outlier. zANGL is 0.628 and Rms BondAngle is 1.4077. would you suggest me to ignore this deviation? But will it not be a problem during PDB submission? What is the reason I am getting a deviation like this? Should I reduce the weighing term further down?
