Jmol can be instructed to load only the first model of a multiple-model PDB file. This is best done with the Jmol application (outside of Proteopedia). Later, the single model could be uploaded to Proteopedia for use in a scene. | |||
''Put Jmol.jar in your working folder'': Create a folder (directory) on your computer in which to work. Go to [[http://jmol.org Jmol.Org]], select Download (upper right), go to the Jmol Downloads Page, and download the current version as a binary.zip file. Unzip the file (this is automatic on Macs), and copy the file Jmol.jar (one of a large number of files in the zipped download). This is the Jmol application. | |||

However, [[biological unit]] assemblies generated from PDB files often exceed this limit by using redundant serial numbers for copied chains. Luckily, Jmol ignores the serial numbers in the PDB file, and can handle models with >100,000 atoms. | However, [[biological unit]] assemblies generated from PDB files often exceed this limit by using redundant serial numbers for copied chains.
