Dear All:
I am refining a protein-peptide complex struture at 2.6 angstrom resolution.
The data was obtain from a co-crystal and the wilson B factor of the data is
about 70.
The affinity between protein and peptide is about 10E-7 to 10E-8 molar.
Protein fragment of the structure has a common B facor about 50.
But surprisingly, the average B factor of the peptide is as high as 130,
although the peptide can be clearly traced from the the electron density
map. All residues of the peptide have such a high B factor.
My question is how can I reduce the abnormal high B factor to a common level
or if this high B factor acceptable.
And another question is if this high B fator will influence the final
refiment level.

Thanks.
