Dear Gerard,
I use one monomer (6 monomers per asu) to run whatcheck again, and got a report:

 Structure Z-scores, positive is better than average:
  2nd generation packing quality :  -0.126
  Ramachandran plot appearance   :   0.197
  chi-1/chi-2 rotamer normality  :   2.482
  Backbone conformation          :  -7.432 (bad)

 RMS Z-scores, should be close to 1.0:
  Bond lengths                   :   0.424 (tight)
  Bond angles                    :   0.548 (tight)
  Omega angle restraints         :   0.895
  Side chain planarity           :   0.333 (tight)
  Improper dihedral distribution :   0.530
  B-factor distribution          :   0.364
  Inside/Outside distribution    :   0.957
