What is the resolution of your data?
Backbone B-s usually are lower than the main chain.
What is the Wilson B value reported by phenix.refine?
You could re-refine and randomize all B-values and see what happens (I
have to get back to you to to get the exact command for this). Maybe it
is useful to obtain a copy of the latest verison of phenix.refine by
downloading cci_apps from our server http://www.phenix-online.org.
If your B-values still come out lowish, try growing crystals that do not
diffract very well, that usually does the trick.
