Crystallographic Refinement

Iterative adjustment of atomic coordinates, B-factors, and occupancies to maximise agreement with the observed amplitudes while restrained to known bond lengths, angles, and planarity. Because data-to-parameter ratios are poor at typical protein resolutions, geometric restraints and the choice of B-factor model carry much of the information.

This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
