hey!
thank y'all for the informative (and swift!) answers! but, if the B factor (as 
defined) appears in a mathematical formulation, that doesn't make it an 
"appropriate" parameter for mobility/uncertainty. wouldn't √B be better, in the 
same way that, for humans, standard deviation (RMSD) is a more appropriate 
parameter of variability than variance? or am i missing something?
cheers

Hi Jonathan

It's historical, it's simply how it appears in the expression for the 
Debye-Waller factor, i.e. exp(-B sin^2(theta)/lambda^2).  So it must have the 
same units as lambda^2.

Cheers

o yes! but maybe the crystal people could explain to me why the B factor is the 
variance (with units of Ų) rather than the standard deviation (i.e. RMS, with 
units of Å) when, to my simple mind, the latter would seem be the more 
appropriate description of variability in space?

If you want something comparable to B-factors don’t forget to put the MSF in 
the B-factor column, not the RMSF. Will change the scaling of the tube radius 
considerably!

Cool…

Purely for visualisation this does look like the approved CCP4 way -

Drawing style (right menu in display table) -> Worm scaled by -> Worm

in ccp4mg?

This changes the size of the worm but not the colour.

Anyway, thanks to all those who answered my original question - especially

       Tristan: Chimerax (+ his attached script)

       Bernhard: Molmol (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8744573/ )
       Rasmus CYRANGE (http://www.bpc.uni-frankfurt.de/cyrange.html) and

       Andrew (uwmn - not sure if this is buildable on a modern box)
       Smita: PyMol (not sure if I’m allowed to say that on ccp4bb…)

or I could script it and use Gesamt or Superpose for the superposition if I 
wanted to stay in the ccp4 universe and had the time to spare ;-)
