At what refinement resolution or resolution ranges would you call a

"low resolution"? I realize that this may boil down to semantics
(e.g. some may classify structures as
"medium resolution"), but I wanted to get an opinion from the pros.
This really needs to take into account the numerical resolution vs.
inherent-coolness-factor tradeoff matrix.
For example, if the macromolecule is comprised of 100% amino acids and
catalyzes a reaction in the Krebs cycle, high resolution is 0.5*(C=C),
the carbon-carbon double-bond length. If it is a snRNP, 7Å is
"moderate resolution."
