Figure 1

Example of a high-resolution protein structure (PDB ID 1R6J) showing anisotropic temperature factors for backbone atoms. The ellipsoids represent 90% probability volume of atomic position, with color varying from immobile (blue) to more mobile (red). Most of the backbone atoms are not mobile and isotropic, with a few loop residues (residue numbers labeled) showing clear directional preference in positional distribution.
