Every modern structure should be "above average" by procheck criteria.
For modest resolution structures, the availability of ncs restraints
should have a big effect on one's Ramachandran expectations: I've
found ncs restraints at 3-3.5A do wonders for the Ramachandran plot
even when they don't do much for Rfree.
