Simplified representations such as '''[[Backbone_representations|backbone traces or ribbons/cartoons]]''' are very helpful in understanding structure when it comes to large molecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA and their complexes. These representations are available under the ''representations'' tab in Proteopedia's [[Scene Authoring Tools]], as well as in the ''Views'' tab in [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]. | |||
