Jmol/Visualizing large molecules
From Proteopedia
Some molecular models ("molecules") are so large that they will not fit within the default amount of computer memory allocated to Jmol (which is the default amount of memory allocated to java). While it is possible to increase the memory allocated to java, most users will not do this, and hence, will not be able to display sufficiently large molecules in Proteopedia (or Jmol).
