Welcome to Jalview Version $$Version-Rel$$ !!
Please
take a look at the release
notes for this build. Read on for the highlights.
Highlights in 2.11.2
New features for working with 3D Structure
Jalview 2.11.2 features a number of new capabilities described
below.
View predicted protein structures via 3D-Beacons
Jalview 2.11.2's Structure
Chooser includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network. Launched in
2021, the 3D-Beacons network (www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/)
provides a central point for the retrieval of predicted and observed
3D structures for sequences in Uniprot, including homology models
from Swiss-model and deep learning based predictions from the EBI's
Alphafold database (Orengo et al. 2020, doi:10.12688/f1000research.20559.1).
Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
Pymol
Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera communications
library developed by Scooter Morris (doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329).
The Structures
Preferences tab provides new options allowing ChimeraX and
Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D structures. Jalview
2.11.2 has been tested with Pymol 2.5.0 (community) and 2.5.2
(incentive). For ChimeraX, we recommend using v1.3 or later.
Views
from all structure viewers are saved in Jalview Projects, allowing
them to be shared with others using Jalview 2.11.2 or later,
providing they have the same viewer installed and configured to be
used with Jalview.
