Above 26, it is apparently arbitrary whether numerals or lower case letters are used first. Generally, the first 26 chains are given IDs A-Z. In January, 2011, there is only one PDB entry with 62 chains ( 2zkr), and 4 more with 55-60 chains. This limit is not much of a problem for asymmetric units.

In the final update of the PDB data format specification ( Version 3.3) and the current remediation of PDB data, chain IDs (names) must be single alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).

Now try these commands (the load command will take about a full minute): The methods explained below will enable you to visualize an asymmetric unit as alpha carbon atoms only (31,668 atoms). However, these are 18 megabyte files, and do not fit in Jmol/java default memory. Fortunately, the authors provide PDB files containing complete asymmetric units. The biological unit contains 2 asymmetric units. Each file contains 80,652 atoms in 13 chains, for a total in the asymmetric unit of 241,956 atoms in 39 chains (A-Z, a-m). The rat liver vault needed to be split into 3 PDB files: 2zuo, 2zv4, and 2zv5. Rat Liver Vault, alpha carbon atoms only.Įxample with 241,956 Atoms: Rat Liver Vault An example is the combination of portions of the two files 1jgo and 1giy for visualization of a complete Ribosome.

These work-arounds are awkward for visualization. This limitation requires that models containing >=100,000 atoms be split into two or more PDB files, or else represented as artificially separated models in a single PDB file. Jmol can handle PDB files containing >100,000 atoms.

Jmol ignores the atom serial number, columns 7-11 in the PDB file, instead assigning its own atomIndex number, unique for each atom, and not redundant between models. Most likely it will display in Jmol when you go to that page. (Files in the mmCIF format can be read by Jmol, and do not suffer from this limitation.) 3cc2 is a model of a large ribosomal subunit containing 99,049 atoms (close to the limit for a single PDB file). Strictly speaking, the format of PDB files is limited to 99,999 atoms in a single model, because there are only 5 columns allocated to atom serial numbers. An example is shown in the Jmol at the upper right corner of this article. These 'reduced' files can be uploaded for use in molecular scenes in Proteopedia. These strategies include displaying only the backbones (alpha carbons for proteins and phosphorus atoms for nucleic acids), and displaying one, or a subset, of the models in multiple-model files. 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, in Proteopedia or Jmol, molecules that exceed a certain size.īelow are explained various strategies for reducing the sizes of large PDB files, enabling their main features to be displayed in the default Jmol/java memory. 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). 4.1.2 Human Heptatitis B Capsid Alpha Carbons.
