ResQ

For models built by AlphaFold without crystal structures, can ResQ be used to determine reasonable B-factors? Additionally, we have been trying to measure it today but haven't gotten any results.

Hi Dear Pan,

Thank you for using our ResQ server. ResQ can calculate B-factors based on the predicted structures obtained from AlphaFold. Your results have been successfully output. Please check the following two links: https://zhanggroup.org/ResQ/output/R0069/ and https://zhanggroup.org/ResQ/output/R0070/.

Thank you!
Best,
Zhang Lab team

ResQ can provide estimated B-factors for AlphaFold models, but the reliability depends on the quality of the predicted structure. If you’re not getting results, it might be worth double-checking input formatting or running a small test case first. Have you verified that the PDB files are properly prepared for ResQ?
