- Description
- The HED (Hi-Eddi) file type is associated with specialized software used in the analysis and processing of high-resolution electron density maps, primarily in the fields of crystallography and structural biology. These files contain data related to the electron density of molecules, which is crucial for determining molecular structures at atomic or near-atomic resolution. HED files are used to store, exchange, and analyze data in a format that supports the intricate details required for high-precision scientific work. The format facilitates the interpretation and modeling of molecular structures, enabling researchers to understand biological functions and interactions at a molecular level.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
