* B-factor restraints test @ 960604
***********************************

* compare default B restraints in X-PLOR with Dale's restraints
  as posted on the xplor newsgroup
  (NOTE: this post does not quite implement Dale's method:
  - XPLOR would need something like: bsigma=(selection)=(selection)=target
    as it is now, every atom gets the target of the last bsigma
    statement it fits; for example:
 bsigma = ( name N  or name CA ) = 4.6
 bsigma = ( name CA or name C  ) = 7.4
    -> CA will get a target of 7.4 anyway
  - Dale's set has *directionality*)
  (NOTE: critique on Dale's paper: he never used Rfree to show that you
   actually get better models at any resolution !)

* first try with CRABPII holo, 1.8 A data, use near-final model
  still with Rfree (i.e., prior to final refinement against all data)
  do the following for several resolutions:
  - set all bs to 15 + Gaussian term as per normal xplor
  - refine with default xplor restraints
  - set bs to 15 + gaussian again
  - refine with pseudo-Dale restraints

  Resol		R/Rfree start	Normal Bs	Dale's Bs
  2.0		0.270/0.287	0.202/0.226	0.193/0.220
  2.2		0.259/0.275	0.197/0.220	0.185/0.216
  2.4		0.250/0.267	0.191/0.218	0.178/0.212
  2.6		0.242/0.263	0.184/0.219	0.169/0.214
  3.0		0.230/0.252	0.175/0.211	0.161/0.205

  -> in all cases pseudo-Dale is ~0.5 % better in Rfree
  however, also R is lower, but usually 2-3 times as much as Rfree
  -> pseudo-Dale seems to be slightly more accurate, but
  it also increases the extent of over-fitting  (since R drops
  quite a bit more than Rfree)

* try the same with CBH2 native data (1.8 A):

  Resol		R/Rfree start	Normal Bs	Dale's Bs
  2.0		0.232/0.247	0.169/0.198	0.159/0.197
  2.4		0.215/0.232	0.156/0.193	0.143/0.191
  3.0		0.196/0.210	0.140/0.182	0.123/0.179

  -> same picture: 0.1-0.3% drop in Rfree at the expense of
     a drop in R which is 5-10 * larger

* -> stick to the old restraints in X-PLOR
