-<p><strong>Viewing PDB Structures</strong></p>
<p>
- Jalview can view protein structures associated with a sequence via the
- <strong>"Structure→"</strong> submenu from a sequence's <a
- href="../menus/popupMenu.html">pop-up menu</a>.
+ <strong>Viewing PDB Structures</strong>
</p>
+ Jalview can be used to view protein structures by following the steps below:
+ <ol>
+ <li>Select the <strong>"View Structure"</strong> option from a
+ sequence's <a href="../menus/popupMenu.html">pop-up menu</a> to invoke the <a href="structurechooser.html">Structure Chooser</a> interface.
+ <ul>
+ <li>If one or more structures exists for the given sequence, the <a href="structurechooser.html">Structure Chooser</a>
+ dialogue is opened with a list of the found structures meta-data.</li>
+ <li>However, if no structure was found, the <a href="structurechooser.html">Structure Chooser</a> interface is opened with options for manual association of PDB structures.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Choose the structure to view from the discovered list. This can be done either manually by clicking directly
+ on the desired structure(s) in the list, or automatically by
+ using the drop-down menu on the interface to filter and auto-select the best structure based on certain
+ criteria like quality, resolution, etc.</li>
+ <li>When the desired structure(s) have been selected, they can be
+ viewed by clicking the <strong>"View"</strong> button below the summary list.
+ </li>
+
+ </ol>
+
The
<a href="jmol.html">Jmol viewer</a> has been included since Jalview
2.3. Jalview 2.8.2 included support for <a href="chimera.html">Chimera</a>, provided it is
href="xsspannotation.html">Annotation from Structure</a> page for
more information.

</ul>
- <p><strong>Associating PDB files with Sequences</strong></p>
- <p>To associate PDB files with a sequence, right click on a sequence
-ID and select "Structure<strong>→</strong> Associate Structure with
-Sequence", and one of the submenus:</p>
-<ul>
- <li>From File - You can load a PDB file from the local machine or
- network and associate it with the selected sequence. PDB files
- associated in this way will also be saved in the <a
- href="jalarchive.html">Jalview Archive file</a>.<br>
- </li>
-
- <li>Enter PDB Id - Jalview will use WSDBFetch, provided by the
- EBI, to fetch the PDB file with the entered Id.<br>
- </li>
-
- <li>Discover PDB Ids - Jalview uses the sequence's ID to query WSDBFetch, provided by the
- EBI, and any enabled DAS servers, to discover PDB ids associated with the sequence.</li>
-</ul>
<p><strong>Importing PDB Entries or files in PDB format</strong><br>
You can retrieve sequences from the PDB using the <a
