A handful of misplaced waters with extremely high B-factors can shift the average by several squared Angstroems. It is probably better to compare the median temperature factor of the model with the value from the Wilson plot.

B factors reflect the quality of your measured data. Assuming that is properly processed the average B for the model should more or less match the Wilson B

You will always get quite a range between the interior of the protein, and the surface residues which may well be in multiple conformations.

Dear all,

I am refining the models of a glucosidase, one is native form and the other is a complex. Here are statistcs results of the 2 models:

      for native

     working set= 0.1835  test set= 0.2140

                luzzati coordinate error (5.0 - 1.9 A ):   0.21 A
cross-validated luzzati coordinate error (5.0 - 1.9 A ): 0.24 A
                 sigmaa coordinate error (5.0 - 1.9 A ):   0.20 A
cross-validated sigmaa coordinate error (5.0 - 1.9 A ): 0.21 A

                 rmsd bonds= 0.005098 with 0 bond violations > 0.05
                 rmsd angles=  1.30986 with 65 angle violations >  8.0
rmsd dihedrals= 23.97789 with 5 angle violations > 60.0 rmsd improper= 0.76021 with 61 angle violations > 3.0

                average B-factor= 30.0377
                 minimum B-factor= 2.55649
                 maximum B-factor= 95.0965
                B rmsd for bonded mainchain atoms=  1.155
                B rmsd for bonded sidechain atoms=  1.792
                B rmsd for angle mainchain atoms=  1.722
                B rmsd for angle sidechain atoms=  2.549

          For complex

                 working set= 0.1973  test set= 0.2374

                luzzati coordinate error (5.0 - 2.1 A ):   0.25 A
cross-validated luzzati coordinate error (5.0 - 2.1 A ): 0.30 A
                 sigmaa coordinate error (5.0 - 2.1 A ):   0.25 A
cross-validated sigmaa coordinate error (5.0 - 2.1 A ): 0.30 A

                 rmsd bonds= 0.005633 with 0 bond violations > 0.05
                 rmsd angles=  1.32029 with 55 angle violations >  8.0
rmsd dihedrals= 24.05490 with 4 angle violations > 60.0 rmsd improper= 0.76886 with 61 angle violations > 3.0

================================== B-factors =================================

               average B-factor= 40.2614
                minimum B-factor= 13.7972
                maximum B-factor= 84.5672
                B rmsd for bonded mainchain atoms=  1.145
                B rmsd for bonded sidechain atoms=  1.764
                 B rmsd for angle mainchain atoms=  1.712
                 B rmsd for angle sidechain atoms=  2.410

I wold like to know if the models are acceptable? Does the high B-factor matter? what caused the high values of B-factors?

Thanks in advance for any comment.

Cheers

Zhongli
