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.

Warning: Unusual bond angles
The bond angles listed in the table below were found to deviate
more than 4 sigma from standard bond angles (both standard values
and sigma for protein residues have been taken from Engh and Huber
[REF], for DNA/RNA from Parkinson et al [REF]). In the table below
for each strange angle the bond angle and the number of standard

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.

Ramachandran Z-score : -1.756
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 : 3.491
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 : -0.309
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.

Warning: Backbone oxygen evaluation
The residues listed in the table below have an unusual backbone
oxygen position.
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!

For this check, backbone conformations are compared with database structures using C-alpha superpositions with some restraints on the backbone oxygen positions.

B-factor analysis

The average B-factor of buried atoms is within expected values for
a room-temperature X-ray study.
Average B-factor for buried atoms : 22.397
Note: Number of buried atoms with low B-factor is OK
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 : 0.00
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 : 2.051 over 2894 bonds
Average difference in B over a bond : 2.36

Listed here are Histidine, Asparagine or Glutamine residues for

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

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.
