+ <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>
EBI, to fetch the PDB file with the entered Id.<br>
</li>
- <li>Discover PDB Ids - Jalview uses WSDBFetch, provided by the
- EBI, to discover PDB ids for all the sequences in the alignment which
- have valid Uniprot names / accession ids.</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>
