Dear All:
I am refining a structure with TLS parameters in REFMAC5.
When I run the Procheck, some warning appear like below:

--- generate density               ---
  WARNING: Determinant(U) =< 0 : -0.000475003297
           for atom: C   , res: 18, CHAIN: 1
          U:  0.08410  0.31220  0.17130  0.02360  0.04920 -0.20800
           atom will not be used
  WARNING: Determinant(U) =< 0 : -0.000683392049
           for atom: O   , res: 18, CHAIN: 1
          U:  0.08280  0.32110  0.15860  0.01930  0.05420 -0.20470
           atom will not be used
  WARNING: Determinant(U) =< 0 : -0.000691463996
           for atom: N   , res: 19, CHAIN: 1
          U:  0.07950  0.30660  0.17030  0.01890  0.04760 -0.21570
           atom will not be used

What does this warning mean? Does this mean something about the model
quality?
But I have found nothing unusual in this position, when I look at this part
of my strucutre model with its well defined density.

Is there anyone who have met the same warning? How to deal with it?

Thanks
