Backbone representations are simplified 3D depictions of proteins or nucleic acids that enable the polymer [[chain]] structure to be seen. In proteins, a simple <font style="background:black;color:yellow;"> backbone trace </font> connects alpha carbons (shown as '''balls''' in the <scene name='59/599354/Helix/13'>initial scene</scene>) but the <font style="background:black;color:yellow;"> backbone trace line </font> does not coincide with any of the covalent bonds in the main chain | Backbone representations are simplified 3D depictions of proteins or nucleic acids that enable the polymer [[chain]] structure to be seen.
