This chapter is still under construction. See the [protein symmetry](https://github.com/rcsb/symmetry) project for more information for now.

BioJava can be used to detect, analyze, and visualize **symmetry** and
5+
**pseudo-symmetry** in the quaternary (biological assembly) and tertiary
6+
(internal) structural levels.

## Internal Symmetry
22+
23+
**Internal symmetry** refers to the symmetry present in a single chain, that is,
24+
the tertiary structure. The algorithm implemented in biojava to detect internal
25+
symmetry is called **CE-Symm**.
