Dear x-plor users,

     I am interested in the B factor refinement strategy of biomolecular 
structures. In x-plor there are four different methods to refine b factor.
They are
          Overall B-factor refinement
          Overall anisotropic B-factor refinement
          Grouped B-factor refinement
          Individual B-factor refinement
     I want to know how to correctly use them in structure refinements, especially the different applying cases of Grouped and Individual.
     Could you please help me on this point?  I am refining an enzyme-inhibitor
complex structure. The R value has gone down to 23.7%. Can I add water moleculesand proceed to refine B-factors now?
     Thanks!
