- The Structure Chooser interface provides a smart technique for - selecting PDB structures to view in Jalview by querying readily - available meta-data of structures. The Interface can be invoked by - selecting the - "3D Structure Data.." option from a sequence's - pop-up menu. Some of the main - features it provides are listed below: ++ The Structure Chooser interface allows you to interactively select + which PDB structures to view for the currently selected set of + sequences. It is opened by selecting the "3D + Structure Data.." option from the Sequence ID panel's pop-up menu. The dialog + provides: +
+ Selecting and Viewing Structures +
++ Once one or more structures have been selected, pressing the View + button will import them into a new or existing + structure view. +
++ Automated discovery of structure data +
+
+ After selecting "3D Structure Data ..", Jalview queries the PDB via
+ the PDBe SOLR Rest API provided by EMBL-EBI to discover PDB IDs
+ associated with the sequence. It does this based on the sequence's
+ ID string, and any other associated database IDs.
+
+
+ Viewing existing + structures for your sequences +
++ If you have already loaded 3D structure data for the selected + sequences, the structure chooser will first open with the Cached + Structures View. This view shows associations between each + sequence, and chains for 3D structure files already in memory. If + you want to download additional structures, select one of the other + options from the drop down menu. +
++ Selection of the best structure for each sequence +
+Jalview can automatically select the best structures according + to meta-data provided by the PDB. For alignments with no existing + structure data, the 'Best Quality' structure for each sequence will + by default be selected, but clicking on the drop down menu allows + other criteria to be chosen, including Resolution (only defined for + X-Ray structures), Highest Protein Chain etc. When 'Invert' is + selected, structures are selected in reverse order for the current + criteria (e.g. worst quality rather than best).
