Resolution is an average value for the uncertainty of atomic positions in a crystallographic model but not the minimun diatance we can distinguish. High values for resolution (e.g. 5.0 &Aring;) mean high uncertainty, and low values (e.g. 1.0 &Aring;) mean much less uncertainty. '''2.05 Å''' is the '''median''' resolution for X-ray crystallographic results in the Protein Data Bank (43,066 on May 2, 2008).

The uncertainty for each atom is quantitated in its [[Temperature_value|temperature value]].
