Inclusion of weak high-resolution X-ray data for improvement of a group II intron structure

It is common to report the resolution of a macromolecular structure with the highest resolution shell having an averaged I/sigma(I) > or = 2. Data beyond the resolution thus defined are weak and often poorly measured. The exclusion of these weak data may improve the apparent statistics and also leads to claims of lower resolutions that give some leniency in the acceptable quality of refined models. However, the inclusion of these data can...
