Large Molecular Assemblies

This segment is about how to work with large molecular assemblies such as virus capsids, ribosomes, microtubules, and crystal unit cells.

We'll use the Chimera Multiscale tool which enables:

• making multimeric structures from the asymmetric unit
• manipulating PDB chains as low resolution surfaces

Demonstration
