Backbone representations are simplified 3D depictions of proteins or nucleic acids that enable the polymer chain structure to be seen. In proteins, a simple backbone trace (<font style="background:black;color:yellow;">yellow</font>) connects alpha carbons (balls) but the trace line does not coincide with any of the covalent bonds in the main chain.
