I am at the point of depositing a low resolution (3.15 A) structure refined with REFMAC.  The average B factors were 31 before I added the TLS contribution as required for deposition which raised them to 157- this is flagged as a problem with the deposition, although this did not stop submssion.  The estimated Wilson B factor is 80.5 (although that will be quite uncertain) so somewhere between these two extremes.

Is it only the relative B factors of the chains that is at all informative?  Should I report the rather low values without TLS contribution or the rather high ones in any "Table 1"?  Comments appreciated.

Thanks

Nick
