Atomic representations include '''ball-and-stick, stick (wireframe), and spacefilling'''. The 20 amino acids are [http://biomodel.uah.es/en/model3/aa.htm here represented in each of these 3 ways], and also illustrated in this [[Glycine|page about Glycine]]. These representations show positions of atoms and covalent bonds. Such representations are useful for looking at atomic detail, but become too cluttered to be useful for visualizing [[peptides]] or [[chains|protein chains]].
