Resolution Assessment in CryoEM Kristin Shingler Friday, August 2 nd, 2013
2
What is Resolution? In short, how close two objects can be without appearing as one. Atomic resolution is achieved in x-ray crystallography. Typically, cryoEM generates sub-nanometer resolution, but recent reconstructions have approached atomic resolution.

Resolution Assessment in X-ray Crystallography Modified Figure 5 from Wlodawer et al. 2007 Determined by how closely the crystal lattice can be packed, while still maintaining diffraction Various statistical measurements correlate the resolution

Why this paper? Elife is an open access journal It provides readers with both the reviewers comments AND the author’s response to reviewers An excellent example of high quality work showing the disparity between conventional and gold standard resolution assessment
16
Timeline of Events The authors first reported the resolution of their map to be 4.6Å by using conventional resolution assessment This method was challenged by reviewers The authors reassessed resolution using the gold standard method and found the map was 5.3Å resolution
