The above snapshots are of only the 28,740 alpha carbons (or a subset) of the biomolecule 1 assembly of 2GTL, rendered with a diameter of 6.0 Å* in FirstGlance in Jmol. Biomolecule 1 has 180 chains: 12 copies of the 15 chains in the asymmetric unit. All snapshots are at the same scale. Sequence letters refer to chains in the asymmetric unit. All the color schemes shown are available in the Views tab under Solid. The Isolate dialog, set to "Chain", was used to isolate all copies of a given sequence by clicking on any chain having that sequence. You then have the option of isolating a single chain, or all chains sharing the identical sequence.

* The van der Waals diameter of a carbon atom is 3.4 Å. Diameters were exaggerated to 6.0 Å in order to give a "solid" appearance.
