However, [[biological unit]] assemblies generated from PDB files often exceed this limit by using redundant serial numbers for copied chains. Luckily, Jmol ignores the serial numbers in the PDB file, and can handle models with >100,000 atoms.
The functional forms of molecules, often called [[biological units]] or [[biological unit|biological assemblies]], may contain many copies of the chains present in the published PDB file (the [[asymmetric unit]]).
