Recent cryoEM resolution in apoferritin (yes, the Lysozyme of cryoEM, but still) seems to be 1.2 A by two groups in the UK and Germany.
Notably (yes, I am kidding, please don't think that I really believe this) the resolution of MODEL structures is ZERO angstroms :) It's perfectly good... as long as you don't apply any ugly experiments to the beautiful theories :) >From the Evdokimov Unified Dictionary of Science: *Experiment* ex·per·i·ment (/ikˈsperəmənt/) *Noun* “A scientific procedure undertaken to inflict pain and suffering on the performing scientist and their colleagues.” *Verb* “To discredit or invalidate an otherwise beautiful theory” Artem Artem - Cosmic Cats approve of this message On Tue, Jun 9, 2020 at 9:36 AM Tobias Beck <tobiasb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I was asked by a student what the highest resolution is, for each of the > four methods listed above.
