After i get my output file from baverage containing the average b-factor and rms by residues,
How can I calculate and display the average (and or mean) B-factors?
Is there a way of calculating it by protein, ligands and solvent separately?
Chimera's Render by Attribute tool can depict atoms by their B-factor or residues by their average B-factor (assuming you have a PDB file with a B-factor column). It also shows a histogram of the B-factor values. You can use the Attribute Calculator tool to compute the average B-factor of any part of your structure and write it to a file.
