Hi Scott,

> angle pdb=" O4'  DG D   6  "

>       pdb=" C1'  DG D   6 "
>        pdb=" N9   DG D   6 "
>     ideal   model    delta    sigma   weight residual
>    108.40   110.18   -1.78 3.00e+00 1.11e-01 3.52e-01

The "ideal" value originates from

$PHENIX/chem_data/mon_lib/g/GD.cif

which has not changed for many years.
I'm very surprised that the PDB is flagging these long-standing CCP4 monomer
library values. I suggest you explain to the PDB that the angles in question
are expected results.

Ralf
