It was published in Nature so it must be right :) ...
Dear crystallographers,
The PDB entry
<http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore.do?structureId=3BDN>http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore.do?structureId=3BDN
has 16.5% Ramachandran outliers. When I opened this PDB file in coot
and checked for Ramachandran outliers, the results are:
In preffered region: 58.04%
In allowed regions: 19.78%
Outliers: 22.17% !!!!!!!!!
With an R-free of 37.4% at 3.9 A resolution, could you please tell
me how reliable this structure of Lambda repressor bound to DNA is?
Thanks
Misbha
