Viewing PDB Structures
-Jalview has a simple 3D structure viewer which can visualize polypeptide backbone - structures associated with a sequence in an alignment. It is - accessed via the "Sequence→View PDB - entry:" entry from the sequence's pop-up menu.
-There are two ways to associate PDB files with sequences:
-Viewing PDB Structures
+Jalview can view protein structures associated with a sequence via the "Structure→View + PDB entry:" entries from a sequence's pop-up menu. This will open an + interactive display of the structure in a new window, or prompt you + to associate the sequence with an existing view of the selected + structure. See the Jmol PDB viewer help page + for more information about the display. +
+To associate PDB files with a sequence, right click on a sequence ID and select + "Structure→ Associate Structure with Sequence", + and one of the submenus:
+Importing PDB Entries or files in PDB format
+You can retrieve sequences from the PDB using the Sequence Fetcher. Any sequences retrieved with this
+ service are automatically associated with their source database entry. For PDB
+ sequences, simply select PDB as the database and enter your known PDB id (appended
+ with ':' and a chain code, if desired).
+
Jalview will also read PDB files directly. Simply load in the file
+as you would an alignment file. The sequences of any peptide chains
+will be extracted from the file and viewed in the alignment window.
+
Note for jalview applet users: due to the applet security
+constraints, PDB Files can currently only be imported by cut and paste
+of the PDB file text into the text box opened by the 'From File' entry
+of the structure menu.
Viewing the PDB Residue Numbering
+Sequences which have PDB entry or PDB file associations are annotated
+with sequence features from a group named with the associated PDB
+accession number or file name. Each feature gives the corresponding
+PDB Residue Number for each mapped residue in the seuqence. The
+display of these features is controlled through the
+"View→Sequence Features" menu item
+and the Feature Settings dialog
+box.
