PLAT433
PLAT433 Type_4 Test for short non-bonding minor..minor inter X...Y contacts
This test raised an ALERT for short intermolecular contacts between minor disorder components. In general, intermolecular contact distances should be not much smaller than the sum of the associated van der Waals Radii. More often than not, such short contacts can be a warning sign for errors. All short contacts should therefore be examined in some detail. Interesting exceptions are carbonyl-carbonyl interactions that often feature short O...C contacts (see Allen et al. (1998) B54, 320-329).
