I distinctly remember reading a paper where B factors were predicted
based on the location of the atoms (core vs exposed, main chain vs side
chain) and the predicted values were not that far off. I wonder if B
factors could actually be restrained at low resolution towards values
reasonable/expected/similar to model values, just as how we put in model
restraints for coordinate refinement these days, since many of us
working at low resolution have at some point or another experienced
catastrophe with B factor refinement. I wonder if this has been tested...

Hi all
What's a way to determining a B-factor to set for all residues of a model at
low resolution (4A)? How valid is the wilson B at this resolution? (better than
nothing?)
I'm in the process of fitting whole domains into some rasty experimental
density maps and was thinking of doing a rigid body or very restrained (
secondary structure | reference structure | etc ) refinement of the coordinates
for helping the fit.
Thanks!
