By default Ramachandran restraints are applied to all residues - this
is very risky, especially when the goal is to keep secondary structure
from unraveling.  It would be prudent to define the parameter
rama_selection (in the GUI, "Atom selection for Ramachandran
restraints") to include only the helical regions.

What is the resolution of this structure?
