Depiction of the strategies used for the modification of B factors of the ensembles. Residue colours correlate with their assigned B factor, and follow a scale from blue for lower to red for higher going through green. All of the treatments are illustrated using the 25-residue homogeneous ensemble. Treatment 1: native B factors kept unmodified as in the native crystal structure. Treatment 2: a gradient of B factors is created through the helical ensemble. Treatment 3: each residue has a B factor proportional to its mean distance to the rest of the equivalent residues in the other four models. Treatment 4: each residue on the ensemble is set with a B factor proportional to the average distance of all of the models in that position. |
