[phenixbb] H related bond deviaion

Hi Dialing,

As I stated yesterday, different programs have different definitions
of bond lengths for H atoms. If you are adding the hydrogens in
MolProbity, the bond lengths will be slightly longer than is used in
the monomer library that Coot uses. While the z scores are quite high,
the sigmas on bond lengths are so small that even a slight length
deviation will result in a very large z score. This is not a major
concern, and is not indicative of a specific problem with your
structure.

If the hydrogens indicate any clashes > 0.4A, then those are still
areas of concern that you should look at.
