3D structures to view for the currently selected set of
sequences. It is opened by selecting the <strong>"3D

<strong>Selection of the best structure for each sequence</strong>
</p>
<p>Jalview can automatically select the best structures according
- to meta-data provided by the PDB. For alignments with no existing
- structure data, the 'Best Quality' structure for each sequence will
- by default be selected, but clicking on the drop down menu allows
- other criteria to be chosen, including Resolution (only defined for
- X-Ray structures), Highest Protein Chain etc. When 'Invert' is
+ to meta-data provided by the search service. The 'PDBe Best Quality' structure for each sequence will
+ by default be selected when no other structure data is available. If 3D-models from other sources are also available, then 'Best 3D Beacons coverage' will be show.
+ <br/><br/>Clicking on the drop down menu allows
+ other criteria to be chosen. For the PDBe, these include including Resolution (only defined for
+ X-Ray structures), Highest Protein Chain etc. When 3D-Beacons results are available, structures can be selected based on their specific provider, or by their coverage of the aligned sequences.<br/>
+ <br/>When 'Invert' is
selected, structures are selected in reverse order for the current
criteria (e.g. worst quality rather than best).</p>

+ across experimentally determined and predicted structure models from
+ several resources including PDBe, AlphaFold DB, SWISS-MODEL, PED, SASDB, Genome3D and

+ <br/>
+ The 3D-Beacons Network search requires UniProt references and Jalview will ask
+ to attempt to fetch these references for the selected sequences.
+ If no UniProt references are found, Jalview will still search the PDB for potential matches for the sequence's ID string.

+ Structures found through the 3D-Beacons network can be filtered using the drop-down filter at the top of the Structure Chooser window.
