By "fix", do you mean "correct" or do you mean "not refine"?

The high average value is quite possibly correct already,
but it is true that you should probably not be refining individual
B factors at that resolution.

Hi Jason

I don't know what is your refinement protocol, but I said that at this
resolution you can try to refine only two B factors per each aminoacid :
one for the main chain and one for the side chain. There is an option to
do that in CNS_SOLVE. You can find very nice examples in the CNS_SOLVE
tutorial pages.

Hope it helps. Cheers and good luck !
