Dear Meytal, Perhaps the problem can be solved by increasing the restraint weight in Refmac, perhaps your model needs more substantial rebuilding. Look at hydrogen bonding, you may need to flip a few peptides. Also a wrongly fitted side-chain may distort the backbone enough to cause a Ramachandran outlier.
Shameless plug: Try the pdb-redo.eu server to see if that can find good Refmac settings. The homology restraints in pdb-redo may be triggered for your model (depends on your data quality) as well. These too affect the Ramachandran plot.

I keep fixing the Ramachandran outliers down to 18 (1.9%), however, upon restrained refinement, the outliers increase back to 35. Do you have any suggestions how can I fix my structure? Thanks, Meytal Galilee
