Hi Kasper,

Yes, you are correct. There are 80 chains with 480 residues. Each of these 80 
chains has a C-amide capping. It’s hexapeptide whose sequence we know and 
matches the density. Unlikely they need to be merged. More precisely, the 
number of NH2 present equals to number of bonds of unrealistic length. Somehow 
the program thinks that the ideal value for the terminal C-N linkage should be 
2.329A but it’s an amide bond.

Best,
Abhi

Hi Abhinaba,

Based on your screenshot of the validation summary, your model contains 480 
residues spread over 80 chains. Does that match what is in your sample? Is it 
possible that some or all of these amino acids need to be merged into larger 
polypeptide chain(s)? Perhaps it is not a coincidence that the number of chains 
is equal to the number of bonds of unrealistic length.

Best,
Kaspar

Thanks Phil and Pavel for pointing it out. The error is likely (I think) of the 
NH2 ligands not being detected as proper amide linkage.

Hi Abhinaba,

Here is my interpretation of this…

The geometry statistics are overall fine, except for the impossibly bad bond 
rmsd (overall, and greater than 4σ). This can't be true for an okay model. So 
I'd stop deposition and check/fix that first! It’s also amazing how one can 
mess up bond lengths so badly without actually damaging the angles—very 
interesting!

Overall, CCmask suggests the model fits the map okay as a whole. To get a 
better local picture, you’d need to check values per chain and residue.

I wouldn’t worry about the atom inclusion score at all—it’s a pretty 
meaningless quality metric, and I could spend an hour or two explaining why.

Bottom line: Based on the information you’ve supplied, your biggest concern 
should be bad covalent bonds.

Good luck!
Pavel

Dear Community,

I'm trying to deposit an EM volume map and the corresponding model to the PDB. 
Though validation in Phenix doesn't show anything wrong, the deposition 
validation indicates a low atom inclusion score. Not sure why the error… Thanks 
in advance for any insights.
