+ The interactive structure viewing window is opened by selecting
+the "Sequence→View PDB entry:" entry in
+the sequence id pop-up menu. This
+can only be done for sequences which have an associated
+PDB structure.
+ Since Jalview 2.3, Jmol
+has been integrated into Jalview. It is automatically used by the
+application, and should also run in the applet in all latest web
+browsers. If jmol is not available, then the original internal pdb viewer will be used as a fallback.
+ Controls The structure is by default rendered as a ribbon diagram. Moving the
+mouse over the structure brings up tooltips giving the residue name,
+PDB residue number and chain code, atom name and number
+([RES]Num:Chain.AtomName#AtomNumber). If a mapping exists to a residue
+in any associated sequences, then this will be highlighted in each
+one's alignment window. The converse also occurs - moving the mouse
+over an associated residue in an alignment window highlights the associated
+atoms in the displayed structures. Selecting a residue highlights its associated sequence residue
+and alpha carbon location. Double clicking an atom allows distances to
+be measured from it to any other atom in the structure.

Functionality provided by Jmol +
The Jmol menu provides access to a number of features for +controlling the colour and display of molecules, adding measurements and +labels, plotting surfaces, and display animation. The 'Set Picking' +menu controls the behaviour of single and double mouse clicking on the +structure.
+The state of each Jmol display is stored within jalview archives using Jmol's own state +storage format. This means that any Jmol visualization effects that +you add beyond those provided by Jalview will be able to be stored and +recovered along with the displayed alignments in Jalview. +

Jmol is a sophisticated program in its own right, with its own +command console and scripting language. Only the essentials have been +described here - the interested reader is referred to +Jmol's own comprehensive +online documenation.

Viewing PDB Structures
-Jalview has a simple 3D structure viewer which - can visualize polypeptide backbone structures associated with a sequence in - a particular alignment view. It is accessed via the "Strucutre→View - PDB entry:" entry from the sequence's pop-up menu.
-Since Jalview 2.3, Jmol has been integrated into the application and will also - run in the applet in all latest web browsers. For more help using Jmol, see - http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/JmolUserGuide/ -
-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:
-Note: 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).
-Sequences which have PDB File associations are annotated with sequence features - from the group 'PDBFile' giving 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.
-See the PDB Viewer help page for more information.

+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. +

+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.
