Hi Raja,
> pdb validation summary letter gives a list of covalent bond angles greater than 6 times standard deviation for dna part of my molecule. I am wondering if someone can tell how to fix that. I used PHENIX to refine my molecule. I did not use any restraints for the dna part.

did you completely turn off all the geometry restraints for that
selected part of your structure? If so, then it is not surprising that
it got distorted during refinement at 2.9A resolution, and therefore I
would suggest re-running phenix.refine using all the restraints that
phenix.refine normally uses by default.

1) Can't you do it in Coot? (especially when there are only a few such
outliers, as you say).
2) Try adding riding H atoms and re-run phenix.refine (with and w/o
weights optimization to see which option gives better results).
3) Try a quick geometry regularization going into trying "2)". Repeat
the same with and w/o H.
This is a pretty frequent question, so I hope someone someone can tell a
success story about it...

Looks reasonable given the resolution...
