[phenixbb] fwd: TLS without isotropic adp refinement

Just to add to Nat's reply (which is 100% correct): even when you refine 
group B-factors and nothing else, the mutual distribution of B-factors 
withing the group remains the same but it is a constant correction that 
is the refinable parameter.

For example, if for residue A the B-factors before group-B refinement 
were: 5,6,7,8.
Then after group-B refinement they can be 7,8,9,10 or 2,3,4,5; where in 
the first case the individual overall B-factor correction was 2 and in 
the second case it was 3.

Cheers,
Pavel.
