Structure Chooser
- The Structure Chooser panel was added in Jalview 2.8.3. It
- introduced a smarter technique for selecting PDB structures to view in
- Jalview by quering readily available meta-data of the structures. Some of the main features it provides are listed below:
+ 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
+ "View Structure" option from a sequence's
+ pop-up menu. Some of the main
+ features it provides are listed below:
- Automatic discovery, retrieval and association of PDB entries
for an alignment's sequences
- Visualisation of discovered structures' meta-data
- Ability to configure the meta-data entries to visualise
- - Auto-selection of the best structure via filtering by

- Auto-selection of the best structure via filtering by the

- Selection of multiple structures in a single operation
Additionally, the Structure Chooser retains the following contemporary

The screenshot above shows the Structure Chooser interface
+ along with the meta-data of auto-discovered structures for the sample
+ alignment. Note however that if no structures were auto-discovered, a
+ different interface for manual association will be invoked as seen in
+ the screenshot below.

+
+
+ Manual selection/association of PDB files with Sequences
+
+ To manually associate PDB files with a sequence, select any of
+ the follwing options listed below from the drop-down menu in the
+ interface:
+
+ - From File - You can load a PDB file from the
+ local machine or network and associate it with the selected sequence.
+ PDB files associated in this way will also be saved in the Jalview Archive file.
+ - Enter PDB Id - Jalview will use the PDB Rest
+ API, provided by the EBI, to fetch the PDB file with the entered Id.
+
+ - Cached PDB Entries - You can view PDB structures which have previously been downloaded/viewed using this option. Jalview caches previously downloaded PDB entries in the computer memory. However, if the project is saved before exiting Jalview, Jalview will serialize the cached entries to the file system.

+ The Structure Chooser panel was introduced in Jalview 2.x.x.
