Hello!

Jaskolski & other experts say in "Stereochemical restraints revisited: how 
accurate are 
refinement targets and 
how much should protein structures be allowed to deviate from them?" (2007) 
Acta Cryst. 
D63:611-620

that 

quote: "A correctly set balance will be reflected in root-mean-square 
deviations from ideal 
bond lengths in the 
range 0.015-0.020 A for structures refined to R factors of 0.15-0.20."

I would set the weigth manually.
