Dear all We have refined (Refmac5) a crystallographic structure with Rw/Rf values 0.19/0.22 (Resln 2.67). However, the deposition has stalled on account of the wwPDB's preliminary validation report, which indicates map/model and geometry issues, with each criterion containing a few instances. We tried to correct these by varying overall geometry restraint weights, e.g. decreasing overall weights from default value of 1.0, incementally decreasing sigmas corresponding to the planarity restraint term. This did not resolve the issues.
In another approach, real space refinement by hand (against 2fo-fc) in coot brought the geometry parameters within acceptable limits in addition to improved apparent agreement with electron density (2fo-fc, sigma=1), but uploading the resultant coordinates seems to undo the changes made in coot, as indicated by reappearance of same outliers in the subsequent validation report. I request your kind suggestions in this regard. Please also revert for any further information.
