- 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 JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
