I think this is very expectable. The Wilson B is calculated from the high-resolution end of the Wilson plot, where the disorderd loops hardly contibute, so it overweights the well-ordered atoms that diffract strongly to high resolution. The average atomic B weights every atom equally so the average is more representative of all the atoms including the disordered ones. eab On 07/21/2014 08:34 PM, Emily Golden wrote:
Dear All,
I have a 1.12 A refined structure with and average B of 11.5 but the wilson B is 6. There are a couple of highly mobile loops and water molecules in the structure that are increasing the average B. What is an acceptable difference between wilson B and average B?
Thank you,
Emily
