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.

Improper dihedral RMS Z-score : 0.528
Note: Chain names are OK
All chain names assigned to polymer molecules are unique, and all
residue numbers are strictly increasing within each chain.
Note: Weights checked OK
All atomic occupancy factors ('weights') fall in the 0.0--1.0 range.

Warning: Unusual bond lengths
The bond lengths listed in the table below were found to deviate
more than 4 sigma from standard bond lengths (both standard values
and sigma for amino acid residues have been taken from Engh and
Huber [REF], for DNA they were taken from Parkinson et al [REF]). In
the table below for each unusual bond the bond length and the
number of standard deviations it differs from the normal value is
given.
Atom names starting with "<" belong to the previous residue in the chain. If the second atom name is "--SS", the disulphide bridge has a deviating length.

RMS Z-score for bond lengths: 0.766
RMS-deviation in bond distances: 0.017
Note: No bond length directionality
Comparison of bond distances with Engh and Huber [REF] standard
values for protein residues and Parkinson et al [REF] values for
DNA/RNA does not show significant systematic deviations.
Note: All bond angles OK
All bond angles are in agreement with standard bond angles using a
tolerance of 4 sigma (both standard values and sigma for protein
residues have been taken from Engh and Huber [REF], for DNA/RNA
from Parkinson et al. [REF]). Please note that only bond angles
within protein residues are taken into account: disulphide bridges
and peptide bonds are neglected.
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: 0.886
RMS-deviation in bond angles: 1.783
Note: Side chain planarity OK
All of the side chains of residues that have a planar group are
planar within expected RMS deviations.
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.
Warning: Unusual PRO puckering amplitudes
The proline residues listed in the table below have a puckering
amplitude that is outside of normal ranges. Puckering parameters
were calculated by the method of Cremer and Pople [REF]. Normal PRO
rings have a puckering amplitude Q between 0.20 and 0.45
Angstrom. If Q is lower than 0.20 Angstrom for a PRO residue, this
could indicate disorder between the two different normal ring forms
(with C-gamma below and above the ring, respectively). If Q is
higher than 0.45 Angstrom something could have gone wrong during the
refinement.

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.

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.

Ramachandran Z-score : -1.642
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 : 3.391
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 : -2.083
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.

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.

listed in the table is a packing normality Z-score: positive means
better than average, negative means worse than average. Only residues
scoring less than -2.50 are listed here. These are the "unusual"

Note: Backbone oxygen evaluation OK
All residues for which the local backbone conformation could be
found in the WHAT IF database have a normal backbone oxygen
position.
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
0.66. 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.

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!

For protein structures determined at room temperature, no more than
about 1 percent of the B factors of buried atoms is below 5.0.
Percentage of buried atoms with B less than 5 : 0.27
Error: The B-factors of bonded atoms show signs of over-refinement
For each of the bond types in a protein a distribution was derived
for the difference between the square roots of the B-factors of the
two atoms. All bonds in the current protein were scored against
these distributions. The number given below is the RMS Z-score over
the structure. For a structure with completely restrained B-factors
within residues, this value will be around 0.35, for extremely high
resolution structures refined with free isotropic B-factors this
number is expected to be near 1.0. Any value over 1.5 is sign of
severe over-refinement of B-factors.
RMS Z-score : 1.515 over 2790 bonds
Average difference in B over a bond : 2.19

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.
