Hi Smith,What does the density look like for the rotamers that are flagged for bad geometry? It could be possible that they are refining to low-probability conformations that are nevertheless justified by the data.
Also, how many residues does that 3% reflect? Is it 4 residues of 120 or 30 residues of 1000?McGill University

If I do the auto fit rotamer by coot, for most of the rotamer outliers auto fitted, nearby peptide bonds will be cleft, and if I do real space refine around the cleft bonds, although the cleft bonds can be connected, the rotamer outlier residues are still rotamer outliers. Will you please explain the possible reasons?Smith
