Verification of protein structures: Patterns of nonbonded atomic interactions

A novel method for differentiating between correctly and incorrectly determined regions of protein structures based on characteristic atomic interactions is described. Different types of atoms are distributed nonrandomly with respect to each other in proteins. Errors in model building lead to more randomized distributions of the different atom types, which can be distinguished from correct distributions by statistical methods.
