The table below summarises the geometric issues observed across the polymeric chains and their fit
to the map. The red, orange, yellow and green segments of the bar indicate the fraction of residues
that contain outliers for >=3, 2, 1 and 0 types of geometric quality criteria respectively. A grey
segment represents the fraction of residues that are not modelled. The numeric value for eachfraction is indicated below the corresponding segment, with a dot representing fractions <=5%
The upper red bar (where present) indicates the fraction of residues that have poor fit to the EM
map (all-atom inclusion < 40%). The numeric value is given above the bar.

Residue-property plots ○These plots are drawn for all protein, RNA, DNA and oligosaccharide chains in the entry. The
first graphic for a chain summarises the proportions of the various outlier classes displayed in thesecond graphic. The second graphic shows the sequence view annotated by issues in geometry andatom inclusion in map density. Residues are color-coded according to the number of geometricquality criteria for which they contain at least one outlier: green = 0, yellow = 1, orange = 2
and red = 3 or more. A red diamond above a residue indicates a poor fit to the EM map forthis residue (all-atom inclusion < 40%). Stretches of 2 or more consecutive residues without any
outlier are shown as a green connector. Residues present in the sample, but not in the model, areshown in grey.

HEM, CMOThe Z score for a bond length (or angle) is the number of standard deviations the observed value
is removed from the expected value. A bond length (or angle) with |Z| > 5 is considered an
outlier worth inspection. RMSZ is the root-mean-square of all Z scores of the bond lengths (orangles).

Chiral center outliers are detected by calculating the chiral volume of a chiral center and verifying if
the center is modelled as a planar moiety or with the opposite hand.A planarity outlier is detectedby checking planarity of atoms in a peptide group, atoms in a mainchain group or atoms of asidechain that are expected to be planar.

The following is a two-dimensional graphical depiction of Mogul quality analysis of bond lengths,
bond angles, torsion angles, and ring geometry for all instances of the Ligand of Interest. In
addition, ligands with molecular weight > 250 and outliers as shown on the validation Tables will
also be included. For torsion angles, if less then 5% of the Mogul distribution of torsion angles iswithin 10 degrees of the torsion angle in question, then that torsion angle is considered an outlier.
Any bond that is central to one or more torsion angles identified as an outlier by Mogul will behighlighted in the graph. For rings, the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) between the ringin question and similar rings identified by Mogul is calculated over all ring torsion angles. If theaverage RMSD is greater than 60 degrees and the minimal RMSD between the ring in question andany Mogul-identified rings is also greater than 60 degrees, then that ring is considered an outlier.
The outliers are highlighted in purple. The color gray indicates Mogul did not find sufficientequivalents in the CSD to analyse the geometry.

The images above show the 3D surface view of the map at the recommended contour level 0.9 at
50% transparency in yellow overlaid with a ribbon representation of the model coloured in blue.
These images allow for the visual assessment of the quality of fit between the atomic model andthe map.

The images above show the model with each residue coloured according its Q-score. This showstheir resolvability in the map with higher Q-score values reflecting better resolvability. Please
note: Q-score is calculating the resolvability of atoms, and thus high values are only expected at
resolutions at which atoms can be resolved. Low Q-score values may therefore be expected formany entries.
