+ Jalview 2.11.2 features a number of new capabilities described
+ below.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>View predicted protein structures via 3D-Beacons</strong> <br>
+ Jalview 2.11.2's <a href="features/structurechooser.html">Structure
+ Chooser includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network</a>. Launched in
+ 2021, the 3D-Beacons network (<a
+ href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/">www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbe/pdbe-kb/3dbeacons/</a>)
+ provides a central point for the retrieval of predicted and observed
+ 3D structures for sequences in Uniprot, including homology models
+ from Swiss-model and deep learning based predictions from the EBI's
+ Alphafold database (Orengo et al. 2020, <a
+ href="https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.20559.1">doi:10.12688/f1000research.20559.1</a>).<br>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <strong>Support for viewing structures with ChimeraX and
+ Pymol</strong><br> Jalview's 3D structure viewer system has been
+ re-architected to allow easier integration of external structure
+ viewers, and takes advantage of the strucViz2 Chimera communications
+ library developed by Scooter Morris (<a
+ href="https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329">doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm329</a>).<br /> <br />
+ The <a href="features/preferences.html#structure">Structures
+ Preferences tab</a> provides new options allowing ChimeraX and
+ Pymol to be used for visualising external 3D structures. Jalview
+ 2.11.2 has been tested with Pymol 2.5.0 (community) and 2.5.2
+ (incentive). For ChimeraX, we recommend using v1.3 or later.<br />Views
+ from all structure viewers are saved in Jalview Projects, allowing
+ them to be shared with others using Jalview 2.11.2 or later,
+ providing they have the same viewer installed and configured to be
+ used with Jalview.
+ </p>
+ <p>Other highlights include:</p>
<ul>
- <li><strong>Linked viewing with <em>ChimeraX</em> and
- <em>PyMol</em></strong><br />Simply configure your preferred viewer for 3D
- molecular data in <a href="features/preferences.html#structure">Jalview's
- structure preferences</a>, make sure that Jalview can locate the
- viewer's installation, and open a new view via the 3D Structure
- Chooser!</li>
- <li><strong>View predicted protein structures via
- 3D-Beacons</strong><br /> Jalview 2.11.2's <a
- href="features/structurechooser.html">Structure Chooser
- includes a client for the 3D-Beacons Network</a>, a new service that
- allows predicted and observed 3D models for proteins in Uniprot
- from a range of resources, including AlphaFold DB, SWISS-MODEL and
- a growing number of other resources.</li>
- <li><strong>Easier configuration of <a href="features/preferences.html#startup">Jalview's memory allocation</a></strong>
