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."
