Dear Oliviero, On one aspect of your query, this analysis dissected the different sources of disorder contributions to B factors:- Diamond, R Acta Cryst (1990). *A46*, 425-435 All best wishes, John On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 2:49 PM, Oliviero Carugo < oliviero.car...@univie.ac.at> wrote: > Dears, >

Re: [ccp4bb] B-factor standardization

Oliviero, We published a paper in 2003 in which we normalized B-factors to do a comparison of relative mobility or flexibility. The reference is: Gourinath et al. Structure 11:1621-1627 (2003). The jargon we used for Bave of the protein is . In our case, to be conservative in our

[ccp4bb] B-factor standardization

Dears, everybody knows that B-factors may change amongst different crystal structures and that they need to be standardized when different protein crystal structures are compared. If I am not wrong, I remember that someone proposed to standardize B-factors of protein atoms as “BS = B -
