Dear all,
I have a 3 A structure refined with REFMAC which gives consistently
average atomic B-factors of 40 A2, whereas the B factor from a Wilson
plot is about 60 A2. Is there any explanation for such a discrepancy?
There are no obvious problems:
No twinning, spacegroup P21 with two molecules in the asu, no proper ncs
symmetry. No pathologic Wilson plot, complete and redundant dataset
(although collected on several crystals with serious problems due to
radiation damage).
Interestingly, the Wilson plot of the Fcalc values is about 60 A2 as for
Fobs in the output dataset.
Yours
Wim
