Ramachandran outliers are those amino acids with non favorable dihedral angles, and Ramachandran plot is a powerful tool for making those evident. Most of the times, Ramachandran outliers are a consequence of mistakes during the data processing.

However, sometimes, Ramachandran outliers might play a special role in the structure function. See for example the case of Ser-200 in the structure <scene name='76/762493/1ea5_color_sec_struct/3'>1ea5</scene>.
