Thanks a lot for all the answers :)
Pavel was very kind to re-run my data with the latest version of the software and the problem was solved!!
A great week to all,

Hello Edna,

I am in the same boat, I had similar B-factor=0 problem with phenix.refine ver. 1.8_1069. Apparently, it was a bug in that specific version of PHENIX, which was fixed subsequently in later versions. Almost more than a year after PDB deposition to RCSB database, RCSB annotators found the issue and requested to send revised PDB with properly refined B-factors. The simplest solution is to refine the structure with latest official stable PHENIX version 1.8.4-1496, that takes care for the problem.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Anshul

Subject: [phenixbb] zero B-factors
 
Hello,

Recently I did submit a structure to the PDB but they found that some atoms had zero value for the B-factors.
I am new in this filed and I do not know what to do. There have been reports of problems with some versions of phenix about this.
I used Phenix 1.8.

I repeted the refinement doing restrain NCS-related B-factors but I do not find where to check for the the B-factor values in the the log file.

Somebody can help me?
Thanks a lot,
Edna
