Dear Michael,
Perhaps you want the correlation between the B-factors between the same atom in each structure. The Pearson correlation is independent of scale. Adam I am looking to compare the B-factors of a particular stretch of DNA bases when bound by several different proteins. I have crystal structures for each, but the structures are of different resolutions and also then different Wilson B-factors. Is it valid to compare those B-factors directly? (probably not) or to set the B-factors from the different structures to a common scale based on the Wilson B-factors from their respective data sets?
