All of this arises from a simple miscommunication. The default restraints
for refinement in Phenix is the Conformation Dependent Library. It
basically changes the ideal values for the protein backbone based on the
phi/psi.angles. While Moprobity in Phenix uses the same libraries, it
appears the communication has broken so it's not using the CDL but rather
the single value restraints. As a result, .geo file (which is the gold
standard) is correct and the Molprobity is slightly wrong. As a power user
(you look in the .geo file), I suggest you check the .geo file until I
correct this.
Cheers

I notice inconsistencies in the Molprobity results reported for the same structure from RealSpaceRefine and from ValidationCryoEM. As an example, for bond angle restraints, RSR reports that there are four >4sigma outliers (but does not list the outliers), while ValidationCryoEM reports 0.
RSR CryoEMValidation Number of restraints 13228 13228 RMS(deviation) 0.509 0.51 Max. deviation 9.997 9.998 Min. deviation 0 0 Number of outliers > 4sigma 4 0
Browsing through the .geo file, I don’t see any >4 sigma deviations among the highest residual angles, so I think this is an error.
I also see small discrepancies in Ramachandran favored, rotamer outliers, and clash score which seem to come down to minuscule differences in measurements at the margins.
This is for Phenix 1.21.2-5419. Happy to share files offline.
