The following | The following sources generate biological unit models from REMARK 350. Be aware that, as explained above, REMARK 350 may be incorrect. | ||
====FirstGlance in Jmol==== | |||
[http://firstglance.jmol.org FirstGlance] automatically '''displays''' biological unit 1, and enables you to work with it using all of the tools within FirstGlance. However, you '''cannot save the biological unit model in PDB format''', because | |||
JSmol assigns multiple-character names to duplicated chains. For example, with [[3hyd]], chain A is duplicated to chains A1, A2, A3. These chain names render the pseudo PDB file saved from FirstGlance/JSmol unreadable for many software packages. | |||
====MakeMultimer==== | ====MakeMultimer==== | ||
*The [http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/makemultimer/ MakeMultimer Server] generates a PDB file in which every chain is assigned a distinct single-character name, and all chains are in a single model. MakeMultimer provides direct links for downloading, or for visualizing each biological unit in [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]. | *The [http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/makemultimer/ MakeMultimer Server] generates a PDB file in which every chain is assigned a distinct single-character name, and all chains are in a single model.
