Hi Guido, Yes, there are a few small discrepancies between the AMBER force field and the libraries used for restraints/validation in refinement packages and the wwPDB. That's one of the reasons I try not to describe ISOLDE as a true refinement package (the other being that it currently doesn't perform B-factor refinement). You'll still want to run a final refinement with your package of choice before depositing to the wwPDB. To help with that, there are the commands: isolde write phenixRefineInput isolde write phenixRsrInput isolde write refmacRestraints Just type "usage isolde write" on the command line for more details on their use.

Is there anything that I can/have to do about that? Or is that something that you would keep as it is and discuss with the PDB people?
