Jmol/Visualizing large molecules: Difference between revisions

Below are explained various strategies for reducing the sizes of large PDB files, enabling their main features to be displayed in the default Jmol/java memory. These strategies include displaying only the backbones (alpha carbons for proteins and phosphorus atoms for nucleic acids), and displaying one, or a subset, of the models in multiple-model files. The objective is to produce a [[PDB file]] small enough to display in Jmol/java default memory. That file can be uploaded for use in molecular scenes in Proteopedia. An example is shown in the Jmol at the upper right corner of this article.
