The distinction between theoretical and empirical models is important because when theoretical models are compared with empirical models, the theoretical models often contain significant errors. In contrast, when the structure of a particular macromolecule is determined using empirical methods by different laboratories, or both by crystallography and NMR, the agreement is usually quite good. | The distinction between theoretical and empirical models is important because when theoretical models are compared with empirical models, the theoretical models often contain significant errors.
