Jalview provides a specialised interface that allows fast and efficient discovery and retrieval of data from the PDB - database, based on the EMBL-EBI's PDBe BioSOLR query interface. It allows interactive querying of PDB metadata with free text and structured queries, so structures can be located without prior knowledge of their database accessions, - or via manual cross-referencing with other bioinformatics websites.

Bulk PDB retrieval
Multiple PDB - IDs can be specified by separating them with a semi-colon.
e.g. - 1xyz;2xyz;3xyz
Hitting Return or OK will automatically fetch - those IDs, like the default Sequence Fetcher interface.

Structured queries
The PDBe SOLR interface supports boolean query syntax, allowing quoted search strings to be combined with AND, OR, and NOT. Currently, no special support for constructing these queries is provided in the query dialog box.
