The resolution of a macromolecular crystal is the smallest distance between crystal lattice planes that is resolved in the diffraction pattern. Thus high numeric values of resolution, such as 4 Å, mean poor resolution, while low numeric values, such as 1.5 Å, mean good resolution. | The resolution of a macromolecular crystal is the smallest distance between crystal lattice planes that is resolved in the diffraction pattern.
