Indeed, and 3NOQ is one of my favorite examples of that, an outlier isn't necessarily equates to wrong! However, I think torsion angles (eg, phi/psi) are much more flexible than covalent angles/bonds and so they can possibly afford larger deviations compared to covalent bonds/angles. The strain caused by any one of them will distribute itself > over all neighbouring bond lengths and angles as well as > over the torsion angles. > I wonder if there is a documented study that actually shows this happening? Clearly this must take place one way or another, but I wonder if anyone "measured" the effect and documented it..
