Dear friends,
I have some questions about the B value, generated from the Modeller
along with the homology model. I am not sure
how the temperature factor (Beta) is calculated (by MD simulation?).
Since many homology
modeling program didn't supply the information of B value, or just used
it as a temporary space to fill up data, I am curious how serious the
Modeller deals with it? Is it a proper data to estimate the flexibility
of residues?
Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreicated.
Your sincerely,
Xinhao Ye
