Dear all I request you to please tell me the difference between wilson B-factor and average B, all atoms ?? I have two structures one native at 2A resolution, having mean b factor of 24 and the other a complex structure of the same protein with a ligand (at 2.6A resolution) has mean b factor of 23..Why there is a difference in the b factor for these two coordinates with the later having (low resolution) lower value than the previous (high resolution)..?? is this a normal phenomenon or the stability is due to bound ligand molecule, which is stabilizing the whole structure ?? Please pour some light in this direction..
