All,
How reasonable is it to estimate the occupancy of a ligand by assuming
it has the same B factors as the adjacent side chain atoms? I don't
mean to pick on Ekstrom, as I have seen this assumption asserted in a
number of structure papers. I was a bit skeptical, especially at modest
(mid 2.0A) resolution. What do you all think?

I'm struggling with a 2.5 Å structure of a protein-ligand complex.
Current R/Rfree is 19/24.
The occupancy of the ligand is approximately 0.80 (estimated by B-factor
matching of neighbouring residues)
