Re: [ccp4bb] units of the B factor

how does the equation cos(x)= (exp(ix) + exp(-ix))/2 and the sine equivalent fit into this? Clearly exponentials are not restricted to angles ... indicating that x (and by implication angles) have no dimensions. Marc Schiltz's previously cited Taylor expansion demonstrates this even

Of course, for SI political correctness we should be using nm^2 anyway. This would add more confusion to a situation that most people don't worry about anyway. Pete On 20 Nov 2009, at 11:05, Ian Tickle wrote: Hi James If we're going to sort out the units we need to get the terminology

Dear Fred A really nice video that would be great for giving non-crystallographers (including colleagues and 1st year students, and perhaps also friends and family) an overview of what we do. Thank you for pointing it out - and of course very many thanks to Dominique Sauter for making it. I am

Dear Patrick Long ago we (Cheetham et a (1992) J Molec Biol 224:613-628) did some refinements on hen lysozyme + substrate complexes at 1.75A and 2A resolution and showed that B and occupancy are negatively correlated, especially at 2.0A. In simplistic terms this is because at medium
