The average atomic B factor in the PDB at a given resolution "d" is roughly:
B = 4*d^2+12 So, I am willing to bet your resolution is 3.1 A? If so, then you are "normal" (whatever that means). -James Holton MAD Scientist On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 8:38 PM, Pavel Afonine <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Afshan, > > you didn't mention the resolution, which is essential. > For ultra-high resolution structures the average B may be well less than > 10, and <B> less than ~4-5 is the condition to see the bonding density (see > aldose reductase, 1uso, for instance).
