Hi Smith,
2-3 A is not atomic resolution, so you cannot meaningfully measure
distances between individual atoms in your model at this resolution, I
think (I guess it is safer to say that you can measure these distances,
technically, but their meaning is not going to be straightforward to
interpret).
