In many proteins we find totally knotted or otherwise distorted N-terminal residues. Here is one example in 1mn8:

The direct environment of the rather funny residue 1. I indicated two very short distances to the Arginine.

Clear, the B-factors of this residue are a bit high:

ATOM      1  N   GLN A   3       1.487  34.339 -28.185  1.00 56.65           N
ATOM      2  CA  GLN A   3       0.352  32.071 -28.036  1.00 52.23           C
ATOM      3  C   GLN A   3       1.691  33.044 -27.146  1.00 53.94           C
ATOM      4  O   GLN A   3       1.212  33.971 -26.510  1.00 67.04           O

ATOM      7  CD  GLN A   3      -1.088  33.260 -26.417  1.00 67.98           C
ATOM      8  OE1 GLN A   3      -0.012  32.867 -24.786  1.00 65.10           O

but that should not be an excuse for a residue in which the bond-lengths are longer than the atomic distances to other residues. This structure was solved in 2002 at 1.0 Ångström  resolution...
