===Section 6: Biological Unit=== | ===Section 6: Biological Unit=== | ||
How many polymer chains (protein, DNA or RNA) are in the biological unit? The asymmetric unit? | |||
:A. The asymmetric unit is what you see in Proteopedia or FirstGlance, when you use the PDB code. | |||
:B. In a new browser tab, go to [http://watcut.uwaterloo.ca/cgi-bin/makemultimer/ MakeMultimer]. | |||
:C. Enter your PDB code. Leave all other options at their defaults. Click Submit. | |||
:D. Pay attention to the tables, especially the "Chain" column (model made by MakeMultimer), vs. the "original" column (original chain names). | |||
:E. Click "View in FirstGlance". | |||
Show side-by-side <font color='e000e0'><b>snapshots</b></font> comparing the asymmetric unit with the biological unit. Make sure to label which is which. | |||
