<strong>Switching between mmCIF and PDB format for
wwwPDB. If you prefer (for any reason) to download data as PDB files
instead, then first close Jalview, and add the following line to
your .jalview_properties file:<br />
- <code> DEFAULT_STRUCTURE_FORMAT=PDB </code>
+ <code> PDB_DOWNLOAD_FORMAT=PDB </code>
<br /> When this setting is configured, Jalview will only request
PDB format files from EMBL-EBI's PDBe.<br /> <em>mmCIF format
