We have been trying to deposit our peptide structures with D amino acids in them They are 15 mers all D, with and L racemate, refined in Refmac 5.8.0107 When we run validation, all the D amino acids have bond length outliers, while none of the L do. Example from the validation server:
"A bond length (or angle) with jZj > 2 is considered an outlier worth inspection. Mol Type Chain Res Link Bond lengths Bond angles Counts RMSZ #jZj > 2 Counts RMSZ #jZj > 2 1 DLY A 10 - 8,?,? 0.47 0 8,?,? 1.74 2 (25%) 1 DLY A 11 - 4,?,? 1.38 1 (25%) 4,?,? 1.51 1 (25%) 1 DPN A 12 - 11,?,? 1.14 1 (9%) 13,?,? 1.29 2 (15%) 1 DAL A 13 - 4,?,? 0.83 0 4,?,? 2.11 2 (50%) 1 DLY A 14 - 4,?,? 1.19 1 (25%) 4,?,? 2.43 1 (25%) 1 DAL A 15 - 4,?,? 1.55 1 (25%) 4,?,? 2.27 1 (25%) 1 DPN A 16 - 11,?,? 1.97 1 (9%) 13,?,? 1.10 1 (7%) 1 DVA A 17 - 6,?,? 1.03 1 (16%) 7,?,? 1.03 1 (14%)" etc. None of the L's have this. I also downloaded the lib file for D and L Leucine and the bond lengths are different: Leu _chem_comp_bond.value_dist _chem_comp_bond.value_dist_esd LEU N CA single 1.491 0.021 LEU CA HA single 0.980 0.020 LEU CA CB single 1.530 0.020 LEU CB HB3 single 0.970 0.020 LEU CB HB2 single 0.970 0.020 LEU CB CG single 1.530 0.020 LEU CG HG single 0.970 0.020 LEU CG CD1 single 1.521 0.020 LEU CD1 HD11 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CD1 HD12 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CD1 HD13 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CG CD2 single 1.521 0.020 LEU CD2 HD21 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CD2 HD22 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CD2 HD23 single 0.960 0.020 LEU CA C single 1.525 0.021 LEU C O deloc 1.231 0.020 LEU N H1 single 0.960 0.020 LEU N H2 single 0.960 0.020 LEU N H3 single 0.960 0.020 LEU C OXT deloc 1.231 0.020 and for DLE _chem_comp_bond.value_dist _chem_comp_bond.value_dist_esd DLe N CA single 1.455 0.020 DLe CB CA single 1.524 0.020 DLe CA C single 1.500 0.020 DLe CG CB single 1.524 0.020 DLe CD1 CG single 1.524 0.020 DLe CD2 CG single 1.524 0.020 DLe O C deloc 1.250 0.020 DLe C OXT deloc 1.250 0.020 DLe HN N single 0.954 0.020 DLe HA CA single 1.099 0.020 DLe HB1 CB single 1.092 0.020 DLe HB2 CB single 1.092 0.020 DLe HG CG single 1.099 0.020 DLe HD21 CD2 single 1.059 0.020 DLe HD22 CD2 single 1.059 0.020 DLe HD23 CD2 single 1.059 0.020 DLe HD11 CD1 single 1.059 0.020 DLe HD12 CD1 single 1.059 0.020 DLe HD13 CD1 single 1.059 0.020 Has anyone seen this? and how do I refine if the restraints are different for the enantiomorphs? I doubt ALL the bl's should be different. Thanks for your help. Kenneth A. Satyshur, M.S., Ph.D. Senior Scientist University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, Wisconsin, 53706 608-215-5207
