Figure 4
R versus R factor scatter plots comparing the new scaling protocol using poly+expanal for the anisotropic scale factor with the old protocol. For each structure the full set of structure factors available from the PDB was used to calculate scale factors and to calculate R factors (left). Using the same scale-factor values the R factors were calculated separately for the low-resolution reflections (middle) and high-resolution reflections (right). A large spread of points in the vertical direction above the diagonal (red line) in these latter plots indicates that in many cases the scale factors produced by the old protocol resulted in a poorer fit to the data at low and high resolutions, while the new protocol generates scale factors with a good fit across all resolution ranges. See §3.3 for details. |
