As a rule of thumb, for models with [[resolution]] of 2.0 Å or better, free R should not exceed (resolution/10) by more than 0.05; that is, if the resolution is 2.0 Å, free R should not significantly exceed 0.25. For resolutions around 3.0 Å, the free R should not exceed (resolution/10). Free R values exceeding the worst 25% for the resolution of the model (see table below) raise doubts about the quality of the model. | As a rule of thumb, for models with [[resolution]] of 2.0 Å or better, free R should not exceed (resolution/10) by more than 0.05; that is, if the resolution is 2.0 Å, free R should not significantly exceed 0.25.
