These examples show that it is much easier to work with author-assigned chain IDs than with wwPDB-assigned chain IDs. Luckily, [[Jmol|Jmol & JSmol]], [[iCn3D]], and [[ChimeraX]] use author-assigned chain IDs. [[PyMOL]] selects single-character author-assigned chain IDs, but reports both types of chain IDs. [[Molstar]] reports both chain IDs.
