A couple of questions: - How did you calculate the Wilson B-factor? - What does the Wilson plot look like (can be seen in the Phenix GUI using xtriage) On Apr 21, 2010, at 10:42 AM, Gino Cingolani wrote:
Hi all,
we've solved a large structure (~20,000 residues/asymm unit), with 4- fold ncs and diffraction data to 3.3A.
The Rfree/Rfac is ~28%-24% with OK geometry with no major outliers in the Ramachandran plot. I would think I'm done (.. after 6 years!).
However, my refined model b-factor (~130A2) is >> Wilson b-factor (~80A2). Obviously I'm not too happy with it.
Here is what I tried to resolve this discrepancy: --> play with wxu_scale --> play with B-factor weight in ncs restraint (4-fold ncs) --> play with number of macrocycles --> Redefine tls groups
So far nothing really works, except switching from individual_adp to group_adp. However, this increases my Rfree by almost 3%.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
