Dear X-PLOR users,
we are refining several structures from data collected in cryo temperatures
and have trouble refining the bfactors. We are starting off with the grouped
B-factor refinement at 2.3-2.5 A resolution. Currently my structure is at
2.3 A, with 27671 reflections used for 4620 atoms (560 residues and 179
waters). The problem is that if I refine the B-factors I end up with lots
of B-factors of 2.0 (the minimum) and at some places, lower B-factors for
the main chain than for the side chain portion.
Is there some tricks that I should try, something related to cryo data
compared to the one collected at room temperature? Or is this just a
reflection of underfitting the data still, too many well ordered waters
that I just haven't modelled in yet? Solvent flattening?
Thank you for your help.
