If you ever need a non-technical explanation of electron density maps and their relationships to temperature (B value), these pages may be quite useful:
http://bioinformatics.org/molvis/edm I use them in the workshops I teach on protein structure. In 2010, with Bob's help, I made these two pages about electron density maps. One shows the relationship between electron density (shown as a "cloud" of data points, each with a density value) and the usual map, which is an isomesh at one sigma. The second shows how the map looks around a region with low temperature (B value) vs. one of high temperature, in a 2.0 Angstrom resolution protein. Until now these have been using the old unsigned Jmol Java applet, but yesterday I easily got them running in JSmol! I'm pleasantly surprised at the performance. Because they are data intensive they load and rotate faster and smoother in Firefox (or Safari). http://bioinformatics.org/firstglance/fgij/notes.htm#browsers -Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
