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. | [[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. | ||
