Could it be that they are not normal because of all of the outlier, huge-b-factor sidechains? If every exposed sidechain without real density gets a b-factor of 150, wouldn't that make a sizeable and illegitimate non-normal population? I would actually be curious about normality of b-factors--is there such a study/figure out there somewhere, with, say, histograms of b-factors of many individual structures? -- ******************************************* Jacob Pearson Keller Northwestern University Medical Scientist Training Program cel: 773.608.9185 email: j-kell...@northwestern.edu *******************************************
