+<p><strong>Viewing PDB Structures</strong></p>\r
+<p>Jalview has a simple <a href="pdbviewer.html">3D structure viewer</a> which can visualize polypeptide backbone\r
+  structures associated with a sequence in an alignment. It is\r
+  accessed via the <strong>&quot;Sequence&#8594;View PDB\r
+  entry:&quot;</strong> entry from the sequence's <a\r
+  href="../menus/popUp.html">pop-up menu</a>.</p>\r
+<p>There are two ways to associate PDB files with sequences:</p>\r
+<ul>\r
+  <li>Select &quot;<a href="seqfeatures.html">Sequence Features</a>&quot; from \r
+    the &quot;View&quot; menu, which retrieves any uniprot sequence\r
+    records associated with the sequences in the alignment. If, for a\r
+    particular sequence's uniprot record there\r
+    are any cross-references to PDB structures, then these will be\r
+    added to its list of associated database ids.</li>\r
+  <li>Retrieve sequences from the PDB using the <a\r
+  href="seqfetch.html">Sequence Fetcher</a>. Any sequences retrieved\r
+  with this service are automatically associated with their source\r
+  database entry. For PDB sequences, simply select PDB as the database\r
+  and enter your known PDB id (appended with ':' and a chain code, if\r
+  desired).</li>\r
+</ul>\r
