The percent deviation carries some relevance because small RDCs (close to magic angle) don't influence much the fitted alignment tensor and they also have intrinsically larger experimental relative error.

Hello Charles and others,

To find how good a refinement is, R-factors or Q-factor is used as a general broad indicator.

R-factor defined as : sqrt{Sum[(Exp-obs)^2])/Sum[Exp^2]/2}

This R-factor is a good indicator of the over-all data fit but is there any such indicator for residue wise improvement. I tried residue wise R-factor as :

Residue R-factor : |Exp - Obs| / |Exp|
[basically percent deviation].

But % deviation seems to show a large change if very small RDC values such as 0.05 changes even slightly. [ While the RDC values of other residues are much greater than 0.05]. I have seen a papers mention Residue wise R-factors and wondering what is the formulation used. [Toward a unified representation of protein structural dynamics in solution by McCammon et al].

Thanks
Santhosh
