	The [[Biological Unit]] is the quaternary structure of a protein that is believed to be the functional form of the molecule. Contrast this with the [[asymmetric unit]] which simply reflects the model solved by the structural biologists and deposited in the [[PDB]]. Biological units displayed in the 'Structure Boxes' on Proteopedia pages for PDB entries are those predicted and calculated using the [[PISA\|Protein Interfaces, Surfaces and Assemblies Server]] (PISA).
