-Jalview facilitates the use of protein structures for the analysis of alignments
-by providing a linked view of structures associated with sequences in
-the alignment. The Java based molecular viewing program Jmol\footnote{See the
-Jmol homepage \url{http://www.jmol.org} for more information.} has been
-incorporated\footnote{Earlier versions of Jalview included MCView - a simple
-main chain structure viewer. Structures are visualized as an alpha carbon trace
-and can be viewed, rotated and coloured in a structure viewer and the results
-interpreted on a sequence alignment.} which enables sophisticated molecular
-visualizations to be prepared and investigated alongside an analysis of
-associated sequences.
-PDB format files can be imported directly or structures can be retrieved from
-the European Protein Databank (PDBe) using the Sequence Fetcher (see
-\ref{fetchseq}).

-\subsection{Automatic Association of PDB Structures with Sequences}
+Jalview facilitates the use of 3D structure data for the analysis of alignments
+by providing a linked view of structures associated with the aligned sequences.
+It also allows sequence, secondary structure and B-factor data to be imported
+from structure files, and supports the use of the EMBL-EBI's SIFTS database to
+construct accurate mappings between UniProt protein sequences and structures
+retrieved from the PDB.
+
+\section{Molecular graphics systems supported by Jalview}
+Jalview can interactively view 3D structure using Jmol, a Java based molecular
+viewing program\footnote{See the Jmol homepage \url{http://www.jmol.org} for
+more information.} integrated with Jalview.\footnote{Earlier
+versions of Jalview included MCView - a simple main chain structure viewer.
+Structures are visualized as an alpha carbon trace and can be viewed, rotated
+and coloured in a structure viewer and the results interpreted on a sequence
+alignment.} It also supports the use of UCSF Chimera, a powerful molecular
+graphics system that needs separate installation. Jalview can also read PDB and
+mmCIF format files directly to extract sequences and secondary structure
+information, and retrieve records from the European Protein
+Databank (PDBe) using the Sequence Fetcher (see \ref{fetchseq}).
+
+\subsection{Configuring the default structure viewer}
+\label{configuring3dviewer}
+To configure which one is used when creating a new
+structure view, open the Structures preferences window {\sl via} {\sl Tools $\Rightarrow$ Preferences\ldots} and
+select either JMOL or CHIMERA as the default viewer. If you select Chimera,
+Jalview will search for the installed program, and if it cannot be found,
+you will be prompted to locate the Chimera binary, or directed to the UCSF
+Chimera download page.
