The temperature value represents the uncertainty in the position of an atom in a crystallographic model. Coloring each atom according to its temperature value makes it easy to see variations in the uncertainty of atomic positions throughout the model. This reveals local uncertainty whereas the Resolution represents the average uncertainty for the model.

Fixed (Absolute) Temperature Color Scheme

0     50     100


Relative Temperature Color Scheme

min temp           max temp

As the examples below illustrate, generally, the average temperature value in a crystallographic model goes up as the value of resolution goes up. For more data, please see Temperature value vs. resolution.

Fixed vs. Relative

Jmol offers two methods for coloring by temperature value. (For an introduction to the temperature value or B factor, please see Temperature value.)

*The relativeTemperature color scheme is the same as the temperature color scheme.
**Midpoint between the minimum and maximum temperature values, that is, min + ((max - min)/2).

Temperature of an atom is reported in the hover report (touch the atom, don't click).

Other examples:

  • 2zqp 6.0 Å Temperature min/av/max: 328/328/328. Fixed is red; relative is white.
  • 1bdx 6.0 Å Temperature min/av/max: 30/30/30. Fixed is light blue; relative is white.
  • 1qd7 5.5 Å Temperature min/av/max: 0.0/19/102. Fixed & relative seem identical.

Jmol Scripts

The Jmol scripts used by the Temperature 0-10 and Add 10 buttons are:

These scripts require that the main script below be run beforehand.


The following Jmol script produces the above scenes, after loading any PDB file. After running this script, you enter the command "echo pdbID" to display the PDB ID in the upper left. When pasting this script into the Jmol Console (Jmol 11.8 used in Proteopedia in June, 2011), the semicolons were required in order for the echo commands to work properly.
