The consists of three distinct protein sequences, and a total of 720 chains. It has nearly 2 million non-hydrogen atoms (so about 3.6 million atoms including hydrogen). The structure 6mx4 determined by electron microscopy (4.4 Å resolution) has 12 chains, with instructions for constructing the entire capsid. FirstGlance in Jmol automatically constructs the capsid, and simplifies it to a subset of alpha carbon atoms small enough to be analyzed efficiently in the FirstGlance and JSmol, both of which run in the Javascript of the web browser.
