Hi Murpholino,

reasons are similar to why crystallographic R factor never goes to zero.

Model-map CC is calculated between the map (the data, in case of cryo EM, or sort of data in case of Crystallography) and a model. As you know data always has errors and model is just an approximation to reality. So you have no chance to match them perfectly, unless overfit. Something along these lines..

As you can see the electron density fits very well the model.

Why not a single residue gets a perfect correlation coefficient? (i.e. 1)

Just curious.

Thanks
