At sufficiently high [[resolution]], [[Empirical models|empirical methods]] for determining macromolecular structure may detect multiple locations for some atoms, termed [[alternate locations]]. When alternate locations for backbones (main chains) deviate substantially, the backbone may separate into two pathways ("fork") and then rejoin into a single pathway. [[FirstGlance in Jmol]] can color each [[http://firstglance.jmol.org/conformations.htm conformations], animate, and isolate them.
