It may take about a minute for the first command to work. After the capsid appears, enter the second command -- it may take half a minute. The resulting display will include 123,420 atoms, which is about the maximum that Jmol can display in the default java memory.

If the SV40 full capsid display fails, try the half-capsid model (also available from a link at ViperDB).

A smaller virus capsid is human hepatitis B, [[2g34]]. Its half-capsid (17,640 atoms) is displayed near the top of this page.
