The capsid of Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus 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 &Aring; 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 web browser Javascript of FirstGlance and of [[JSmol]].
