+ After selecting "3D Structure Data ..", Jalview queries its available structure data providers. When Uniprot identifiers are available, it queries the 3D-Beacons network (since Jalview 2.11.2), otherwise it searches the PDB via
the PDBe SOLR Rest API provided by EMBL-EBI to discover PDB IDs
associated with the sequence. It does this based on the sequence's
ID string, and any other associated database IDs.

+ DB, SWISS-MODEL, PED, SASDB, Genome3D and PDBe-KB.
If your
+ sequences have Uniprot identifiers, Jalview will query the
+ 3D-Beacons network to discover relevant 3D structures and models.
+ When no uniprot identifiers are available you can initiate Uniprot
+ identifier discovery and a subsequent search of the 3D-Beacons
+ Network by pressing the 3D-Beacons Search button at
+ the top of the Structure Chooser window.
When the search button is
+ pressed, Jalview will ask to attempt to fetch any additional uniprot
+ references for the selected sequences - we do this because fetching
+ large numbers of Uniprot references can take some time. For
+ sequences without Uniprot accessions, Jalview will still search the
+ PDB for potential matches for the sequence's ID string.
+
+ 3D Beacons provides some additional information for each model,
+ including what positions on the Uniprot sequence have structure
+ data. These metadata (described below) are shown in the columns of
+ the table and used to provide additional filter options.
Use
+ the drop-down filter menu and table to browse and select structures,
+ and finally view them using the
+ open structure
+ options at the bottom of the Structure Chooser window.
