Well - I would look at the deviants in COOT and see if there is a proper reason for the angels - water molecules too close? alternate conformation for some near by sidechain? Any refinement program wants to get good geometry unless there is an obstacle. If there is nothing obvious to fix you could

Hello Pradeep, Have you visually checked the model at these locations? Is this non-ideal geometry of the DNA supported by the map? At 2.3 A resolution, the DNA should be well resolved (both backbone and nucleic bases planes). Some (most?) DNA-binding proteins distort DNA when binding to it, so

2022-04-08 Thread Pallan, Pradeep S
REFMAC5 refinement: nucleic acid residues with bad geometry Hi All, I am in the final refinement stage of an X-ray structure of a protein-DNA complex, 2.3 A resolution, using Refmac5 (REFMAC 5.8.0267, CCP4Interface 7.1.018, Linux platform). I am confident about the space group, refinement steps,
