On the "Ligand" tab (upper left of web page), at left you'll see "PDB
(model coordinates)" and "PDB (ideal coordinates)". The Ideal coords
really are idealized, including a very different torsion between the two
ring systems in this ligand. The Model coords seem correct (one of the
two in the asymmetric unit was chosen, on some basis), but, again a
"Hmm?", the Bfactors of the Model coords were all reset to 10.00. Dave
