[[FirstGlance in Jmol]] automatically constructs the capsid, and simplifies it to a subset of alpha carbon atoms small enough (not more than 25,000) to be analyzed efficiently in FirstGlance and [[JSmol]], both of which run in the Javascript of the web browser. FirstGlance offers a number of useful color schemes, including distance from center, colors that distinguish sequence-identical groups of chains, and [[Help:Color_Keys#Rainbows:_N_to_C.2C_5.27_to_3.27|amino-to-carboxy rainbow]]. When the structure is small enough that all alpha carbons can be displayed (not more than 250,000 alpha carbons; EEEV has 242,340), it can also be colored by charge, hydrophobic vs. polar, or [[evolutionary conservation]].
