there are already some solved structure in the PDB (or EDS) with very
high B factors. Maybe the responsible scientists can give you advice how
to deal with.
for instance:
PDB-ID estim. B factor
1x8w 138
1xa6 100
1xdv 108
1xn4 119
1xxh 111
1ykq 107
1z1g 242 !!
1z9j 144
1z9k 166
1ze0 116
1xpo 108
hmmmm ... if you look up where these have been published it suggests that
there is an almost 50% probability that the structure will end up in one of
the Nature or Cell journals. so i suppose that congratulations to the original
poster (Dr OnLineHelpForm) are in order !
on a more serious note, there are ~60 entries in EDS with an average B (for
everything except the waters) greater than 100 A2, and ~100 entries have a
Wilson B greater than 100 A2. of course, many of these are low-resolution
studies of poorly ordered crystals (which also implies that their Wilson B
values are not to be taken too seriously)
