Occasional PDB files specify more than one biological unit. The easiest way to see all the biological units is to use FirstGlance in Jmol: see [[Biological_Unit#Visualizing_the_Biological_Unit|Visualizing the Biological Unit]].

If you want to show biological unit 2 (or a higher number) in a green link scene in Proteopedia, use the FILTER option in the ''Load Molecule'' dialog of the [[Scene Authoring Tools]]. To get biomolecule 2, simply enter '''biomolecule 2''' in the FILTER slot. This will load all atoms in biomolecule 2. But sometimes there are too many atoms for good performance of JSmol, and in such cases, showing only the alpha carbons (or sometimes a subset of alpha carbons) is sufficient.

Sometimes there are too many atoms for good performance of JSmol, and in such cases, simplifying to show only the alpha carbons (or sometimes a subset of alpha carbons) is usually sufficient.
