On pages titled with a [[PDB code]], Proteopedia shows biological unit 1 by default, with an option to show the asymmetric unit instead. A simple example is [[3hyd]]: biological unit 1 has 4 small peptide chains, while the asymmetric unit has a single chain. A large example is [[1pov]], the polio virus capsid. When biological unit 1 becomes too large for JSmol to handle effectively, it is displayed in @@@@@@ instead of JSmol. An example is the much larger capsid of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus, [[6mx4]]. | |||

FirstGlance in Jmol makes it quick and easy to see, explore, and analyze the biological unit. The initial display in FirstGlance is automatically "biomolecule 1" from REMARK 350. When it is very large, it will be [http://firstglance.jmol.org/notes.htm#simplification simplified to alpha carbon atoms (or a subset thereof)] automatically by FirstGlance. | FirstGlance in Jmol makes it quick and easy to see, explore, and analyze the biological unit.
