Superposing structures based on
- their aligned sequences
If several structures are
- available on the alignment, you may add additional structures to an
- existing Jmol view by selecting their entry in the appropriate
- pop-up menu. Jalview will ask you if you wish to add the structure
- to the existing alignment, and if you do, it will import and
- superimpose the new PDB file using the corresponding positions from
- the alignment. If the alignment is subsequently edited, you can use
- the Jmol→Align menu option from
- the menu bar of the structure view window to superpose the
- structures using the updated alignment.
Sequence
+ their aligned sequences
If several structures are shown
+ in a view, you can superimpose them using the corresponding
+ positions from the alignment via the Jmol→Align
+ menu option from the menu bar of the structure view window.

- Controls
The structure is by default
- rendered as a ribbon diagram. Moving the mouse over the structure
- brings up tooltips giving the residue name, PDB residue number and
- chain code, atom name and number
- ([RES]Num:Chain.AtomName#AtomNumber). If a mapping exists to a
- residue in any associated sequences, then this will be highlighted
- in each one's alignment window. The converse also occurs - moving
- the mouse over an associated residue in an alignment window
- highlights the associated atoms in the displayed structures.

Selecting a residue highlights its associated sequence residue and alpha carbon location. Double clicking an atom allows distances
