************************************************************************ ********** REPORT OF PROTEIN ANALYSIS by the WHAT IF program ********** ************************************************************************ Date : 2006-02-04 This report was created by WHAT IF version 20030529-0952 INTRODUCTION ------------ This document contains a report of findings by the WHAT IF program during the analysis of one or more proteins. It contains a separate section for each of the proteins that have been analysed. Each reported fact has an assigned severity, one of: * error: severe errors encountered during the analyses. Items marked as errors are considered severe problems requiring immediate attention. * warning: Either less severe problems or uncommon structural features. These still need special attention. * note: Statistical values, plots, or other verbose results of tests and analyses that have been performed. If alternate conformations are present, only the first is evaluated. Hydrogen atoms are only included if explicitly requested, and even then they are not used by all checks. Legend ------ Some notations need a little explanation: RESIDUE: Residues in tables are normally given in 3-5 parts: - A number. This is the internal sequence number of the residue used by WHAT IF. - The residue name. Normally this is a three letter amino acid name. - The sequence number, between brackets. This is the residue number as it was given in the input file. It can be followed by the insertion code. - The chain identifier. A single character. If no chain identifier was given in the input file, this will be invisible. - A model number (only for NMR structures). Z-VALUE: To indicate the normality of a score, the score may be expressed as a Z-value or Z-score. This is just the number of standard deviations that the score deviates from the expected value. A property of Z-values is that the root-mean-square of a group of Z-values (the RMS Z-value) is expected to be 1.0. Z-values above 4.0 and below -4.0 are very uncommon. If a Z-score is used in WHAT IF, the accompanying text will explain how the expected value and standard deviation were obtained. ======================================================================== ==== Compound code /u/lytle/at5g39720/9valid/77/refined_input/refine====pdb ======================================================================== # 1 # Error: Missing unit cell information No SCALE matrix is given in the PDB file. # 2 # Error: Missing symmetry information Problem: No CRYST1 card is given in the PDB file. # 3 # Note: No rounded coordinates detected No significant rounding of atom coordinates has been detected. # 4 # Note: Valine nomenclature OK No errors were detected in valine nomenclature. # 5 # Note: Threonine nomenclature OK No errors were detected in threonine nomenclature. # 6 # Note: Isoleucine nomenclature OK No errors were detected in isoleucine nomenclature. # 7 # Note: Leucine nomenclature OK No errors were detected in leucine nomenclature. # 8 # Note: Arginine nomenclature OK No errors were detected in arginine nomenclature. # 9 # Warning: Tyrosine convention problem The tyrosine residues listed in the table below have their chi-2 not between -90.0 and 90.0 23 TYR ( 23 ) 116 TYR ( 116 ) # 10 # Warning: Phenylalanine convention problem The phenylalanine residues listed in the table below have their chi-2 not between -90.0 and 90.0. 53 PHE ( 53 ) 127 PHE ( 127 ) 143 PHE ( 143 ) # 11 # Warning: Aspartic acid convention problem The aspartic acid residues listed in the table below have their chi-2 not between -90.0 and 90.0, or their proton on OD1 instead of OD2. 37 ASP ( 37 ) 82 ASP ( 82 ) # 12 # Warning: Glutamic acid convention problem The glutamic acid residues listed in the table below have their chi-3 outside the -90.0 to 90.0 range, or their proton on OE1 instead of OE2. 9 GLU ( 9 ) 67 GLU ( 67 ) 70 GLU ( 70 ) 83 GLU ( 83 ) 91 GLU ( 91 ) 94 GLU ( 94 ) 96 GLU ( 96 ) 105 GLU ( 105 ) 109 GLU ( 109 ) 133 GLU ( 133 ) 134 GLU ( 134 ) 171 GLU ( 171 ) # 13 # Warning: Heavy atom naming problem The atoms listed in the table below have nonstandard names in the input file. (Be aware that we sometomes consider an asterix and an apostrophe identical, and thus do not warn for the use of asterixes. Swapped OP1 and OP2 on nucleic acid phosphors also are reported elsewhere). 173 GLN ( 173 ) O <--> O2 # 14 # Warning: Chirality deviations detected The atoms listed in the table below have an improper dihedral value that is deviating from expected values. Improper dihedrals are a measure of the chirality/planarity of the structure at a specific atom. Values around -35 or +35 are expected for chiral atoms, and values around 0 for planar atoms. Planar side chains are left out of the calculations, these are better handled by the planarity checks. Three numbers are given for each atom in the table. The first is the Z-score for the improper dihedral. The second number is the measured improper dihedral. The third number is the expected value for this atom type. A final column contains an extra warning if the chirality for an atom is opposite to the expected value. 4 HIS ( 4 ) CA -7.1 29.8 34.3 4 HIS ( 4 ) C -5.6 -2.8 -0.1 6 HIS ( 6 ) C -4.4 -2.2 -0.1 8 LEU ( 8 ) CG 5.9 -33.1 -33.9 9 GLU ( 9 ) CA -6.3 31.3 34.3 11 SER ( 11 ) C -4.9 -1.6 0.1 13 ASP ( 13 ) C -4.5 -1.8 0.0 15 LEU ( 15 ) C -4.9 -1.8 0.0 15 LEU ( 15 ) CG 8.7 -32.8 -33.9 16 GLN ( 16 ) CA 7.0 37.2 34.2 17 LEU ( 17 ) CA -6.8 32.1 34.5 19 ASN ( 19 ) CA -6.8 29.7 34.0 32 ILE ( 32 ) CB -4.2 32.1 33.2 35 MET ( 35 ) C 5.2 1.7 -0.1 36 LEU ( 36 ) CA -19.0 27.8 34.5 36 LEU ( 36 ) C 4.7 1.6 0.0 36 LEU ( 36 ) CG -16.9 -36.1 -33.9 39 THR ( 39 ) C -5.0 -2.1 -0.1 39 THR ( 39 ) CB 6.3 36.2 34.6 43 VAL ( 43 ) CB 4.1 -32.7 -33.7 44 SER ( 44 ) C -4.2 -1.4 0.1 47 LEU ( 47 ) C -4.2 -1.6 0.0 52 ARG ( 52 ) CA -5.4 31.7 34.2 55 LEU ( 55 ) CA -6.0 32.4 34.5 55 LEU ( 55 ) C 4.4 1.5 0.0 56 LYS ( 56 ) CA -5.3 32.1 34.3 58 ARG ( 58 ) C 5.2 2.1 0.0 59 LEU ( 59 ) CA -8.7 31.4 34.5 59 LEU ( 59 ) CG -6.6 -34.8 -33.9 61 PRO ( 61 ) C -4.1 -1.5 0.0 64 VAL ( 64 ) CB 4.5 -32.5 -33.7 67 GLU ( 67 ) CA -6.3 31.4 34.3 68 LYS ( 68 ) CA -9.3 30.4 34.3 68 LYS ( 68 ) C -8.9 -3.2 0.0 76 LEU ( 76 ) CA 6.8 36.8 34.5 77 MET ( 77 ) CA -4.8 32.0 34.2 79 VAL ( 79 ) CB 8.9 -31.5 -33.7 84 LEU ( 84 ) CG 16.9 -31.7 -33.9 85 GLU ( 85 ) CA -5.8 31.6 34.3 90 VAL ( 90 ) CA -5.7 31.0 33.8 90 VAL ( 90 ) C 4.9 1.8 -0.3 90 VAL ( 90 ) CB 9.5 -31.3 -33.7 98 VAL ( 98 ) CA -5.5 31.1 33.8 99 THR ( 99 ) CB -4.0 33.6 34.6 107 ASN ( 107 ) CA -6.0 30.3 34.0 116 TYR ( 116 ) CA -4.4 31.8 34.4 117 MET ( 117 ) C -4.0 -1.5 -0.1 119 ILE ( 119 ) CB 4.5 34.4 33.2 122 ALA ( 122 ) CA -7.0 32.8 34.3 122 ALA ( 122 ) C -7.7 -2.3 0.0 124 PRO ( 124 ) CA 5.6 40.0 37.8 127 PHE ( 127 ) CA -9.9 28.3 34.2 131 ASN ( 131 ) CA -4.1 31.4 34.0 132 PHE ( 132 ) CA 4.4 36.9 34.2 133 GLU ( 133 ) CA -5.1 31.9 34.3 138 LEU ( 138 ) CG 23.8 -30.8 -33.9 140 LYS ( 140 ) C 5.6 1.9 0.0 141 LYS ( 141 ) C 4.8 1.6 0.0 144 ILE ( 144 ) CA -4.5 31.5 33.8 146 THR ( 146 ) C 5.0 1.9 -0.1 147 PHE ( 147 ) CA -8.1 29.4 34.2 148 LYS ( 148 ) CA 6.2 36.9 34.3 148 LYS ( 148 ) C 5.0 1.7 0.0 151 MET ( 151 ) CA -8.5 30.4 34.2 152 GLU ( 152 ) CA -8.0 30.5 34.3 153 CYS ( 153 ) CA -6.1 31.7 34.4 161 GLY ( 161 ) C -4.1 -1.1 0.1 163 ASP ( 163 ) CA -4.3 31.3 34.1 163 ASP ( 163 ) C -8.0 -3.2 0.0 164 ASP ( 164 ) C -4.5 -1.8 0.0 165 ILE ( 165 ) CB -4.9 31.9 33.2 166 SER ( 166 ) C -5.5 -1.8 0.1 168 VAL ( 168 ) CA -4.7 31.4 33.8 168 VAL ( 168 ) C -5.8 -2.7 -0.3 171 GLU ( 171 ) CA -6.9 31.0 34.3 171 GLU ( 171 ) C -5.8 -2.2 0.0 # 15 # Warning: High improper dihedral angle deviations The RMS Z-score for the improper dihedrals in the structure is high. For well refined structures this number is expected to be around 1.0. The fact that it is higher than 1.5 in this structure could be an indication of overrefinement.

In the table below for each strange angle the bond angle and the number of standard deviations it differs from the standard values is given. Please note that disulphide bridges are neglected. Atoms starting with "-" belong to the previous residue in the sequence. 2 HIS ( 2 ) CG ND1 CE1 109.643 4.0 5 HIS ( 5 ) CG ND1 CE1 109.622 4.0 # 25 # Note: Normal bond angle variability Bond angles were found to deviate normally from the mean standard bond angles (normal values for protein residues were taken from Engh and Huber [REF], for DNA/RNA from Parkinson et al [REF]). The RMS Z-score given below is expected to be around 1.0 for a normally restrained data set, and this is indeed observed for very high resolution X-ray structures. More common values are around 1.55. RMS Z-score for bond angles: 0.764 RMS-deviation in bond angles: 1.347 # 26 # Note: Side chain planarity OK All of the side chains of residues that have a planar group are planar within expected RMS deviations. # 27 # Note: Atoms connected to aromatic rings OK All of the atoms that are connected to planar aromatic rings in side chains of amino-acid residues are in the plane within expected RMS deviations. # 28 # Note: PRO puckering amplitude OK Puckering amplitudes for all PRO residues are within normal ranges. # 29 # Warning: Unusual PRO puckering phases The proline residues listed in the table below have a puckering phase that is not expected to occur in protein structures. Puckering parameters were calculated by the method of Cremer and Pople [REF]. Normal PRO rings approximately show a so-called envelope conformation with the C-gamma atom above the plane of the ring (phi=+72 degrees), or a half-chair conformation with C-gamma below and C-beta above the plane of the ring (phi=-90 degrees). If phi deviates strongly from these values, this is indicative of a very strange conformation for a PRO residue, and definitely requires a manual check of the data. 48 PRO ( 48 ) -65.1 envelop C-beta (-72 degrees) # 30 # Warning: Torsion angle evaluation shows unusual residues The residues listed in the table below contain bad or abnormal torsion angles. These scores give an impression of how ``normal'' the torsion angles in protein residues are. All torsion angles except omega are used for calculating a `normality' score. Average values and standard deviations were obtained from the residues in the WHAT IF database. These are used to calculate Z-scores. A residue with a Z-score of below -2.0 is poor, and a score of less than -3.0 is worrying. For such residues more than one torsion angle is in a highly unlikely position. 115 THR ( 115 ) -2.3003 102 ILE ( 102 ) -2.2779 128 GLY ( 128 ) -2.2110 124 PRO ( 124 ) -2.1472 # 31 # Warning: Backbone torsion angle evaluation shows unusual conformations The residues listed in the table below have abnormal backbone torsion angles. Residues with ``forbidden'' phi-psi combinations are listed, as well as residues with unusual omega angles (deviating by more than 3 sigma from the normal value). Please note that it is normal if about 5 percent of the residues is listed here as having unusual phi-psi combinations. 9 GLU ( 9 ) Poor phi/psi 13 ASP ( 13 ) Poor phi/psi 37 ASP ( 37 ) Poor phi/psi 48 PRO ( 48 ) Poor PRO-phi 56 LYS ( 56 ) Poor phi/psi 57 GLY ( 57 ) Poor phi/psi 108 SER ( 108 ) Poor phi/psi 124 PRO ( 124 ) Poor PRO-phi 159 GLY ( 159 ) Poor phi/psi # 32 # Warning: Ramachandran Z-score low The score expressing how well the backbone conformations of all residues are corresponding to the known allowed areas in the Ramachandran plot is a bit low. Ramachandran Z-score : -3.336 # 33 # Warning: Omega angles too tightly restrained The omega angles for trans-peptide bonds in a structure are expected to give a gaussian distribution with the average around +178 degrees and a standard deviation around 5.5 degrees. These expected values were obtained from very accurately determined structures. Many protein structures are too tightly constrained. This seems to be the case with the current structure, as the observed standard deviation is below 4.0 degrees. Standard deviation of omega values : 3.991 # 34 # Note: chi-1/chi-2 angle correlation Z-score OK The score expressing how well the chi-1/chi-2 angles of all residues are corresponding to the populated areas in the database is within expected ranges for well-refined structures. chi-1/chi-2 correlation Z-score : -1.665 # 35 # Note: Ramachandran plot In this Ramachandran plot X-signs represent glycines, squares represent prolines and small plus-signs represent the other residues. If too many plus-signs fall outside the contoured areas then the molecule is poorly refined (or worse). In a colour picture, the residues that are part of a helix are shown in blue, strand residues in red. "Allowed" regions for helical residues are drawn in blue, for strand residues in red, and for all other residues in green.

The contact distances of all atom pairs have been checked. Two atoms are said to `bump' if they are closer than the sum of their Van der Waals radii minus 0.40 Angstrom. For hydrogen bonded pairs a tolerance of 0.55 Angstrom is used. The first number in the table tells you how much shorter that specific contact is than the acceptable limit. The second distance is the distance between the centers of the two atoms. The last text-item on each line represents the status of the atom pair. The text `INTRA' means that the bump is between atoms that are explicitly listed in the PDB file. `INTER' means it is an inter-symmetry bump. If the final column contains the text 'HB', the bump criterium was relaxed because there could be a hydrogen bond. Similarly relaxed criteria are used for 1--3 and 1--4 interactions (listed as 'B2' and 'B3', respectively). If the last column is 'BF', the sum of the B-factors of the atoms is higher than 80, which makes the appearance of the bump somewhat less severe because the atoms probably aren't there anyway. Bumps between atoms for which the sum of their occupancies is lower than one are not reported. In any case, each bump is listed in only one direction. 62 CYS ( 62 ) SG -- 126 MET ( 126 ) SD 0.259 3.341 INTRA 149 LYS ( 149 ) O -- 153 CYS ( 153 ) SG 0.143 2.857 INTRA BF 106 ASP ( 106 ) CG -- 107 ASN ( 107 ) N 0.056 3.044 INTRA 59 LEU ( 59 ) CG -- 60 TYR ( 60 ) N 0.047 3.053 INTRA BF 73 GLY ( 73 ) C -- 74 LYS ( 74 ) CD 0.038 3.162 INTRA 8 LEU ( 8 ) N -- 9 GLU ( 9 ) N 0.031 2.569 INTRA BF # 40 # Warning: Abnormal packing environment for some residues The residues listed in the table below have an unusual packing environment. The packing environment of the residues is compared with the average packing environment for all residues of the same type in good PDB files. A low packing score can indicate one of several things: Poor packing, misthreading of the sequence through the density, crystal contacts, contacts with a co-factor, or the residue is part of the active site. It is not uncommon to see a few of these, but in any case this requires further inspection of the residue. 158 GLN ( 158 ) -7.22 15 LEU ( 15 ) -6.80 68 LYS ( 68 ) -6.28 127 PHE ( 127 ) -6.21 38 ARG ( 38 ) -6.12 8 LEU ( 8 ) -6.05 54 ARG ( 54 ) -6.02 3 HIS ( 3 ) -5.91 67 GLU ( 67 ) -5.80 2 HIS ( 2 ) -5.74 60 TYR ( 60 ) -5.51 4 HIS ( 4 ) -5.51 27 GLN ( 27 ) -5.39 9 GLU ( 9 ) -5.16 58 ARG ( 58 ) -5.07 # 41 # Warning: Abnormal packing environment for sequential residues A stretch of at least three sequential residues with a questionable packing environment was found.

For each of the residues in the structure, a search was performed to find 5-residue stretches in the WHAT IF database with superposable C-alpha coordinates, and some constraints on the neighboring backbone oxygens. In the following table the RMS distance between the backbone oxygen positions of these matching structures in the database and the position of the backbone oxygen atom in the current residue is given. If this number is larger than 1.5 a significant number of structures in the database show an alternative position for the backbone oxygen. If the number is larger than 2.0 most matching backbone fragments in the database have the peptide plane flipped. A manual check needs to be performed to assess whether the experimental data can support that alternative as well. The number in the last column is the number of database hits (maximum 80) used in the calculation. It is "normal" that some glycine residues show up in this list, but they are still worth checking! 18 HIS ( 18 ) 3.34 20 166 SER ( 166 ) 3.20 77 70 GLU ( 70 ) 3.10 39 125 ASP ( 125 ) 2.40 34 141 LYS ( 141 ) 2.37 50 136 LYS ( 136 ) 2.28 61 93 ASN ( 93 ) 2.28 14 146 THR ( 146 ) 2.25 23 102 ILE ( 102 ) 2.25 73 144 ILE ( 144 ) 2.23 32 90 VAL ( 90 ) 2.22 28 19 ASN ( 19 ) 2.19 32 147 PHE ( 147 ) 2.19 48 152 GLU ( 152 ) 2.12 68 51 GLN ( 51 ) 2.04 36 104 ARG ( 104 ) 2.03 11 140 LYS ( 140 ) 1.99 18 133 GLU ( 133 ) 1.99 46 74 LYS ( 74 ) 1.91 12 53 PHE ( 53 ) 1.85 66 52 ARG ( 52 ) 1.84 80 63 ILE ( 63 ) 1.78 33 129 GLU ( 129 ) 1.72 22 86 ASN ( 86 ) 1.72 80 148 LYS ( 148 ) 1.59 80 # 49 # Warning: Unusual rotamers The residues listed in the table below have a rotamer that is not seen very often in the database of solved protein structures. This option determines for every residue the position specific chi-1 rotamer distribution. Thereafter it verified whether the actual residue in the molecule has the most preferred rotamer or not. If the actual rotamer is the preferred one, the score is 1.0. If the actual rotamer is unique, the score is 0.0. If there are two preferred rotamers, with a population distribution of 3:2 and your rotamer sits in the lesser populated rotamer, the score will be 0.667. No value will be given if insufficient hits are found in the database. It is not necessarily an error if a few residues have rotamer values below 0.3, but careful inspection of all residues with these low values could be worth it. 119 ILE ( 119 ) 0.36 133 GLU ( 133 ) 0.38 # 50 # Warning: Unusual backbone conformations For the residues listed in the table below, the backbone formed by itself and two neighboring residues on either side is in a conformation that is not seen very often in the database of solved protein structures. The number given in the table is the number of similar backbone conformations in the database with the same amino acid in the center. For this check, backbone conformations are compared with database structures using C-alpha superpositions with some restraints on the backbone oxygen positions. A residue mentioned in the table can be part of a strange loop, or there might be something wrong with it or its directly surrounding residues. There are a few of these in every protein, but in any case it is worth looking at! 3 HIS ( 3 ) 0 4 HIS ( 4 ) 0 5 HIS ( 5 ) 0 8 LEU ( 8 ) 0 9 GLU ( 9 ) 0 14 SER ( 14 ) 0 23 TYR ( 23 ) 0 36 LEU ( 36 ) 0 37 ASP ( 37 ) 0 54 ARG ( 54 ) 0 55 LEU ( 55 ) 0 56 LYS ( 56 ) 0 68 LYS ( 68 ) 0 77 MET ( 77 ) 0 127 PHE ( 127 ) 0 130 TRP ( 130 ) 0 158 GLN ( 158 ) 0 15 LEU ( 15 ) 1 60 TYR ( 60 ) 1 107 ASN ( 107 ) 1 126 MET ( 126 ) 1 131 ASN ( 131 ) 1 162 ASN ( 162 ) 1 12 SER ( 12 ) 2 38 ARG ( 38 ) 2 94 GLU ( 94 ) 2 108 SER ( 108 ) 2 122 ALA ( 122 ) 2 160 GLN ( 160 ) 2 # 51 # Error: Backbone conformation Z-score very low A comparison of the backbone conformation with database proteins shows that the backbone fold in this structure is very unusual. Backbone conformation Z-score : -8.327 # 52 # Warning: Average B-factor problem The average B-factor for all buried protein atoms normally lies between 10--20. Values around 3--5 are expected for X-ray studies performed at liquid nitrogen temperature. Because of the extreme value for the average B-factor, no further analysis of the B-factors is performed. Average B-factor for buried atoms : 37.683 # 53 # Note: B-factor plot The average atomic B-factor per residue is plotted as function of the residue number. In the TeX file, a plot has been inserted here Chain without chain identifier # 54 # Error: HIS, ASN, GLN side chain flips Listed here are Histidine, Asparagine or Glutamine residues for which the orientation determined from hydrogen bonding analysis are different from the assignment given in the input. Either they could form energetically more favorable hydrogen bonds if the terminal group was rotated by 180 degrees, or there is no assignment in the input file (atom type 'A') but an assignment could be made. If a residue is marked ``flexible'' the flipped conformation is only slightly better than the non-flipped conformation. 4 HIS ( 4 ) 19 ASN ( 19 ) # 55 # Note: Histidine type assignments For all complete HIS residues in the structure a tentative assignment to HIS-D (protonated on ND1), HIS-E (protonated on NE2), or HIS-H (protonated on both ND1 and NE2, positively charged) is made based on the hydrogen bond network. A second assignment is made based on which of the Engh and Huber [REF] histidine geometries fits best to the structure. In the table below all normal histidine residues are listed. The assignment based on the geometry of the residue is listed first, together with the RMS Z-score for the fit to the Engh and Huber parameters. For all residues where the H-bond assignment is different, the assignment is listed in the last columns, together with its RMS Z-score to the Engh and Huber parameters. As always, the RMS Z-scores should be close to 1.0 if the residues were restrained to the Engh and Huber parameters during refinement. Please note that because the differences between the geometries of the different types are small it is possible that the geometric assignment given here does not correspond to the type used in refinement. This is especially true if the RMS Z-scores are much higher than 1.0. If the two assignments differ, or the ``geometry'' RMS Z-score is high, it is advisable to verify the hydrogen bond assignment, check the HIS type used during the refinement and possibly adjust it. 2 HIS ( 2 ) HIS-E 0.82 3 HIS ( 3 ) HIS-H 0.51 HIS-E 0.71 4 HIS ( 4 ) HIS-H 0.68 HIS-D 0.82 5 HIS ( 5 ) HIS-H 0.76 HIS-E 0.86 6 HIS ( 6 ) HIS-H 0.33 HIS-E 0.64 7 HIS ( 7 ) HIS-D 0.79 HIS-E 0.90 18 HIS ( 18 ) HIS-E 0.86 72 HIS ( 72 ) HIS-D 1.36 HIS-H 1.74 139 HIS ( 139 ) HIS-H 0.71 HIS-E 0.77 167 HIS ( 167 ) HIS-E 0.94 # 56 # Warning: Buried unsatisfied hydrogen bond donors The buried hydrogen bond donors listed in the table below have a hydrogen atom that is not involved in a hydrogen bond in the optimized hydrogen bond network. Hydrogen bond donors that are buried inside the protein normally use all of their hydrogens to form hydrogen bonds within the protein. If there are any non hydrogen bonded buried hydrogen bond donors in the structure they will be listed here. In very good structures the number of listed atoms will tend to zero. 23 TYR ( 23 ) N 24 GLY ( 24 ) N 28 ASP ( 28 ) N 38 ARG ( 38 ) N 55 LEU ( 55 ) N 59 LEU ( 59 ) N 60 TYR ( 60 ) N 63 ILE ( 63 ) N 83 GLU ( 83 ) N 95 TYR ( 95 ) OH 109 GLU ( 109 ) N 118 TRP ( 118 ) NE1 119 ILE ( 119 ) N 127 PHE ( 127 ) N # 57 # Warning: Buried unsatisfied hydrogen bond acceptors The buried side-chain hydrogen bond acceptors listed in the table below are not involved in a hydrogen bond in the optimized hydrogen bond network. Side-chain hydrogen bond acceptors that are buried inside the protein normally form hydrogen bonds within the protein. If there are any not hydrogen bonded in the optimized hydrogen bond network they will be listed here. 86 ASN ( 86 ) OD1 # 58 # Note: Summary report for users of a structure This is an overall summary of the quality of the structure as compared with current reliable structures. This summary is most useful for biologists seeking a good structure to use for modelling calculations. The second part of the table mostly gives an impression of how well the model conforms to common refinement constraint values. The first part of the table shows a number of constraint-independent quality indicators.
