Hi Bernhard,
I just calculated k_sol and B_sol for all PDB entries that
- have reflection data available,
- I could re-compute the R-factor within 5%, and
- R-work<30%
using a simple cctbx script. Here is what I get:
Distribution of k_sol:
0.000 - 0.060 : 27
0.060 - 0.120 : 12
0.120 - 0.180 : 51
0.180 - 0.240 : 182
0.240 - 0.300 : 1770
0.300 - 0.360 : 13819
0.360 - 0.420 : 19731
0.420 - 0.480 : 3039
0.480 - 0.540 : 471
0.540 - 0.600 : 256
Distribution of B_sol:
0.000 - 31.300 : 4349
31.300 - 62.600 : 29425
62.600 - 93.900 : 4578
93.900 - 125.200 : 597
125.200 - 156.500 : 225
156.500 - 187.800 : 84
187.800 - 219.100 : 37
219.100 - 250.400 : 23
250.400 - 281.700 : 10
281.700 - 313.000 : 30
It seems like the result of similar exercise done by Fokine and Urzhumtsev
(Acta Cryst. (2002). D58, 1387-1392) still holds (see figure 3 on page 1390
there).
