Dear all, I got a reviewer comment that indicate the "need to refine the structures at an appropriate resolution (I/sigmaI of >3.0), and re-submit the revised coordinate files to the PDB for validation.". In the manuscript I present some crystal structures determined by molecular replacement using the same protein in a different space group as search model. Does anyone know the origin or the theoretical basis of this "I/sigmaI >3.0" rule for an appropriate resolution? Thanks, Bye, Roberto.
