SLIDE 24 Checks the stereo-chemical quality of a protein structure, producing a number of plots analyzing its overall and residue-by-residue geometry.
- Covalent geometry
- Planarity
- Dihedral angles
- Chirality
- Non-bonded interactions
- Main-chain hydrogen bonds
- Disulphide bonds
- Stereochemical parameters
- Residue-by-residue analysis

PROCHECK
WHAT IF I check my structure? Imagine ...
- An everyday situation in a biocomputing lab: "Should they use the structure?"
- An everyday situation in a crystallography lab: "Should they deposit the structure
already?" In a WHAT_CHECK report, each reported fact has an assigned severity: error: severe errors encountered during the analyses. Items marked as errors are considered severe problems requiring immediate attention. warning: Either less severe problems or uncommon structural features. These still need special attention. note: Statistical values, plots, or other verbose results of tests and analyses that have been performed.
