+ <em>Sequence <-> Structure Mapping Method</em> - This setting controls whether
+ Jalview attempts to retrieve mappings between Uniprot protein
+ sequences and 3D structures in the PDBe with SIFTS, or constructs a
+ mapping by conservative alignment between the sequences and chains
+ in the 3D structure data using the Needleman and Wunsch algorithm.
+ SIFTS is enabled by default.

<em>PDB Fields shown in Search and Structure Summaries</em> - ticks
in this table indicate fields shown by default when browsing results
of a free text search via the PDB sequence fetcher, or 3D structures
loaded onto the alignment will automatically sort the alignment.

+ which ever is smaller. The <em>Startup</em> tab allows you to adjust

+ stored in your .jalview_properties file.
