The structure of diisopropyl-fluorophosphate-inhibited bovine trypsin has been refined to a standard crystallographic residual of R = 0.15 7 at 1.5/~, resolution for a constrained model (C&S coordinates). Benzamidineinhibited bovine trypsin has also been independently refined (R = 0.229 at 1.8 ,/k) by Bode & Schwager [J. Mol. Biol. (1975), 98, 693-717] (B&S coordinate set). Comparison of these structures after suitable correction for the different inhibitors and consequent structural 0567-7408/79/081861-14501.00 differences permits an experimental determination of the differences in structure, which places an upper limit on the errors in the refined coordinate sets. The models are remarkably similar in well determined regions. The average positional difference between internal mainchain atoms is 0.146 A (0.163 A r.m.s.); however, there are some differences as large as 3-9 A associated mostly with poorly determined external side chains. The magnitude of the deviations is strongly dependent on the region of the structure compared, and is closely related to refined thermal parameters in our analysis. © 1979 International Union of Crystallography 1862 TWO INDEPENDENTLY REFINED MODELS OF BOVINE TRYPSIN Estimated errors in the C&S atom positions average 0.15-0-20 /k overall, and range from about O-10/k in well determined areas to 1 A or more in poorly determined regions. Errors in the B&S positions are expected to be somewhat larger. Comparison of structure factors computed from the B&S coordinates [F~ss )] gives a residual with the C&S observed data of R = 0.238 at 1.8/k (very close to their own residual of 0.229), indicating that the contribution from real differences between the two 'true' structures or from errors in either observed data set is small compared with errors in the refined coordinate sets. The residual between Fe~Bs ) and structure factors computed from the C&S model was 0.253 at 1.5 A, suggesting that the two models do not differ from the 'true' structure in a systematically identical fashion, and that further refinement should improve either model. The similarity of the 0.253 value to their own residual of 0.229 at 1.8 A also suggests that the differences between the C&S and B&S models are about as large as the differences between the B&S structure and the hypothetical 'true' structure. The differences between the two models thus give a reasonable estimate of the kinds of errors which can be expected in a structure with refinement statistics similar to those of Bode & Schwager.
