Proposed revision (May, 2014) after discussion with Keiichi Namba. Comments welcome! | |||
Resolution of a macromolecular crystal is a value that quantitates the uncertainty of atomic positions in the portion of the macromolecule that is most ordered in the crystal. High numeric values (such as 4 Å) mean high uncertainty, "poor resolution"; low values (such as 1.5 Å) mean low uncertainty, "good resolution". The most-ordered portion of the macromolecule is responsible for diffraction spots that are farthest from the axis of the X-ray beam. | |||
