Temperature Factor

The temperature factor (TF) as annotated in a PDB file, is shown here. The Temperature Factor indicates the level of the mobility for the atoms in the crystal. The BLUE STAR STING JPD indicates 3 values: TF at the Ca, Max encountered TF among all atoms belonging to the selected amino acid and finally, the average TF value.

Placing the cursor above this element: pop-up area will show the position (sequence number and amino acid three letter code) for selected amino acid and the 4 numerical values for TF for given amino acid.
Left mouse click: no action
Right mouse click: on any of the "TF" will generate following menu and actions:

A) "Temperature Factor X-Y Graphics" will produce following Java X-Y graphics (X= sequence number, Y= Temperature Factor) with the interactive possibilities described in dedicated HELP manual:

B) STING it "Temperature Factor @Calpha": This option generates structural presentation with color coding of the amino acids corresponding to the "Temperature Factor " color coding. Amino acids are presented in CPK rendering.

C) STING it "Temperature Factor @LHA": This option generates structural presentation with color coding of the amino acids corresponding to the "Temperature Factor " color coding. Amino acids are presented in CPK rendering.

D) STING it "Temperature Factor Mean": This option generates structural presentation with color coding of the amino acids corresponding to the calculated Average Temperature Factor values taken from all atoms. Amino acids are presented in CPK rendering.

E) STING it "Temperature Factor Absolute": This option generates structural presentation with color coding of the amino acids corresponding to the "Temperature Factor " color coding. The absolute Maximal value is shown. Amino acids are presented in CPK rendering.
