Left overs
This page contains a series of directories with FULCHK outputs of WHATCHECK.
This page is mainly meant for Elmar, Robbie, Jurgen, to help me find bugs.
This course heavily borrowed text-fragments from Rob Hooft's 1997 WHAT_CHECK
documentation.
A sorted list of all messages for
all PDB files is available.

A WHAT IF check report: what does it mean?
First a few general points:
- References in the subsections of the report have been removed.
Full references can be found at the end of the full report.
- In a WHAT_CHECK report, each reported fact has an assigned severity, one of:
-- error:
Severe errors encountered during the analyzes. 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
analyzes that have been performed.
- In a first scan, it might be nice to be able to run through "Error" messages
only, but for a careful examination, all messages must be considered.
- In a WHAT_CHECK report, a residue is identified by:
- 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, sometimes followed by an insertion code, between
brackets. This is the residue number as it was given in the input PDB file.
- The chain identifier, if applicable. A single character.
- A model number, if applicable (for NMR structures).
- An atom is identified by a residue and an atom name.
