The functional forms of molecules, often called [[biological units]] or [[biological unit|biological assemblies]], may contain many copies of the chains present in the published PDB file (the [[asymmetric unit]]). | The functional forms of molecules, often called [[biological unit|biological units]] or [[biological unit|biological assemblies]], may contain many copies of the chains present in the published PDB file (the [[asymmetric unit]]). An extreme example is a virus capsid. The capsid of the Simian Virus 40 contains 360 copies of the VP1 protein chain, present in 5 copies in the published PDB file [[1sva]]. | ||
