	The [http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/ MolProbity Server] adds hydrogen atoms (which are missing in most [[X-ray crystallography\|crystallographic]] models) and then looks for atomic clashes and analyses the quality of the geometry. Sidechains of Asn, Gln and His often need to be flipped 180 degrees for optimal fit into their immediate environments. Because the electron densities of oxygen and nitrogen are very similar, crystallographers often leave these sidechains in suboptimal positions in published models. MolProbity recommends which sidechains have strong evidence for being in the wrong positions, and offers to flip them to correct the model.
