Summary of the key indicators and their meanings

Indicator SGML Display Notes Example SGML Example display
Study type <study-type  
method="method 
source="source">
Method source study Capitalize first letter of method. If source is `x-ray', display `X-ray'. <study-type  
method="single-crystal" source="x-ray">
Single-crystal X-ray study
Conditions (temperature and pressure) <conditions  
temperature="T 
pressure="P">
T = T K Always display temperature. <conditions  
temperature="297"  
pressure="0">
T = 297 K
T = T K, P = P kPa If P > 0, display pressure; otherwise, don't. <conditions  
temperature="297"  
pressure="120">
T = 297 K, P = 120 kPa
Geometry precision <geometry-precision  
bond="A-A 
value="V"> 

V is to three decimal places.

Mean &sigma;(A-A) = V Å Replace the hyphen in A-A with an &ndash; in SGML display. <geometry-precision  
bond="C-C"  
value="0.002"> 
Mean &sigma;(C&ndash;C) = 0.002 Å
Completeness <completeness  
hydrogen="H 
nonhydrogen="N"> 

H = % value 
N = complete|incomplete

Some  non-H atoms missing If N = incomplete, display this; otherwise, display nothing. <completeness  
hydrogen="100" nonhydrogen="complete">
 
<completeness  
hydrogen="100" nonhydrogen="incomplete">
Some non-H atoms missing
H-atom completeness H% If H < 100 and N = complete, display this; otherwise, display nothing. <completeness  
hydrogen="90" nonhydrogen="complete">
H-atom completeness 90%
<completeness  
hydrogen="95" nonhydrogen="incomplete">
Some non-H atoms missing 
Disorder <disorder  
mainresidue="M 
solvent="S"> 

M = 1|0 
S = 1|0

Disorder in main residue If M = 1, display this; otherwise, display nothing. <disorder  
mainresidue="0"  
solvent="0"> 
 
<disorder  
mainresidue="1"  
solvent="0"> 
Disorder in main residue
Disorder in solvent or counterion If S = 1  and M = 0, display this; otherwise, display nothing. <disorder  
mainresidue="0"  
solvent="1">
Disorder in solvent or counterion
<disorder  
mainresidue="1"  
solvent="1">
Disorder in main residue
R factor <r-factor value="R"> 

Three decimal places.

R factor = R   <r-factor  
value="0.045">
R factor = 0.045
wR factor <wr-factor value="W"> 

Three decimal places.

wR factor = W   <wr-factor  
value="0.135">
wR factor = 0.135
Data-to-parameter ratio <data-to-parameter-ratio value="D"> 

One decimal place.

Data-to-parameter ratio = D   <data-to-parameter-ratio value="18.5"> Data-to-parameter ratio = 18.5
