Pavel and Nathaniel,
   I had the same problem with both phenix-1.8.1-1168 and phenix-1.8.2-1309. The current nightly build (phenix-dev-1334) worked flawlessly. In fact the b-factors make a lot more sense across the  whole structure now,  typically tripling the mean value and being in better agreement with the statistics for structures of similar resolution.  

Cheers

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

please use recent Phenix version and the problem will go away:

Dear phenixBBers

     I have a curious case of refinement of a 2.6 Angs structure, where some of the atoms have a calculated b-factor of 0.00.  It seems to be somewhat random where this occurs and includes atoms within the backbone e.g. the nitrogen in the following residue:

ATOM   2014  N   THR A 264      -2.685  42.357 -35.833  1.00  0.00           N
ATOM   2015  CA  THR A 264      -3.952  41.776 -35.425  1.00  1.50           C
ATOM   2016  CB  THR A 264      -4.684  41.052 -36.593  1.00  1.70           C
ATOM   2017  OG1 THR A 264      -4.077  39.772 -36.846  1.00  2.24           O
ATOM   2018  CG2 THR A 264      -4.669  41.867 -37.855  1.00  1.72           C
ATOM   2019  C   THR A 264      -3.687  40.729 -34.368  1.00  2.42           C
ATOM   2020  O   THR A 264      -2.571  40.210 -34.263  1.00  2.63           O

The structure contains 4 NCS related monomers but with a quick glance I don't see any obvious correlation between each one as to which atoms are  0.00. I did use phenix.pdbtools to randomise the B-factors (no atoms had a value 0.00 afterwards) but  upon repeating  the refinement the same problem occurs.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to fix this ?

Cheers

Stephen
