Abstract: Physically improbable features in the model of the birch pollen 
structure Bet v 1d (PDB entry 
3k78<http://pdb.pdb.bnl.gov/pdb-bin/opdbshort?3k78>) are faithfully reproduced 
in electron density generated with the deposited structure factors, but these 
structure factors themselves exhibit properties that are characteristic of data 
calculated from a simple model and are inconsistent with the data and error 
model obtained through experimental measurements. The refinement of the 
3k78<http://pdb.pdb.bnl.gov/pdb-bin/opdbshort?3k78>model against these 
structure factors leads to an isomorphous structure different from the 
deposited model with an implausibly small R value (0.019). The abnormal 
refinement is compared with normal refinement of an isomorphous variant 
structure of Bet v 1l (PDB entry 
1fm4<http://pdb.pdb.bnl.gov/pdb-bin/opdbshort?1fm4>). A variety of analytical 
tools, including the application of Diederichs plots, R plots and bulk-solvent 
analysis are discussed as promising aids in validation. The examination of the 
Bet v 1d structure also cautions against the practice of indicating poorly 
defined protein chain residues through zero occupancies. The recommendation to 
preserve diffraction images is amplified.
