<title>PDB Viewing</title>
<p><strong>Viewing PDB Structures</strong></p>
<p>Jalview can view protein structures associated with a sequence
-via the <strong>"Structure→View PDB entry:"</strong> entries from a
-sequence's <a href="../menus/popupMenu.html">pop-up menu</a>. Once a pdb
+via the <strong>"Structure→"</strong> submenu from a
+sequence's <a href="../menus/popupMenu.html">pop-up menu</a>.</p>
+<p>The following menu entries are provided for viewing structure data<br>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The <strong>"Structure→View
+ Structure→</strong> submenu allows a single PDB structure to be chosen
+ for display from the available structures for a sequence.
+ </li>
+ <li>The <strong>"Structure→View all <em>N</em>
+ structures
+ </strong> option will open a new window containing all structures associated
+ with the current selection, superposed according to the currently selected region of the alignment.<br/><em>This
+ capability was added in Jalview 2.7</em>
+ </li>
+ <li><a name="viewreps"/>The <strong>"Structure→View all <em>N</em>
+ representative structures
+ </strong> option will open a new window containing exactly one structure per
+ currently selected sequence.<br />
+ <em>The View representative structures option was introduced in
+ Jalview 2.8.1</em></li>
+ </ul>
+ <br>
+</p>
+
+<p>If a single pdb
structure is selected, one of the following will happen:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the structure is already shown, then you will be prompted
to associate the sequence with an existing view of the selected
- structure.</li>
+ structure. This is useful when working with multi-domain or multi-chain PDB files.</li>
<li style="list-style: none">See the <a href="jmol.html">Jmol
PDB viewer</a> help page for more information about the display.</li>

+ <p>To associate PDB files with a sequence, right click on a sequence
ID and select "Structure<strong>→</strong> Associate Structure with
Sequence", and one of the submenus:</p>
EBI, to fetch the PDB file with the entered Id.<br>
</li>
- <li>Discover PDB Ids - Jalview uses WSDBFetch, provided by the
- EBI, to discover PDB ids for all the sequences in the alignment which
- have valid Uniprot names / accession ids.</li>
+ <li>Discover PDB Ids - Jalview uses the sequence's ID to query WSDBFetch, provided by the
+ EBI, and any enabled DAS servers, to discover PDB ids associated with the sequence.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Importing PDB Entries or files in PDB format</strong><br>
you would an alignment file. The sequences of any peptide chains will be
extracted from the file and viewed in the alignment window.</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Associating a large number of PDB files to sequences
+in an alignment</strong><br /> It is often the case when working with
+structure alignments that you will have a directory of PDB files, and
+an alignment involving one or more of the structures. If you drag a
+number of PDB files onto an alignment in the Jalview desktop, Jalview
+will give you the option of associating PDB files with sequences that
+have the same filename. This means, for example, you can automatically
+associate PDB files with names like '1gaq.pdb' with sequences that
+have an ID like '1gaq'.
+<br/><em>Note: This feature was added in Jalview 2.7</em>
+</p>
<p><em>Note for jalview applet users:<br>
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
Settings dialog box</a>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Outstanding problem with cut'n'pasted
-files in Jalview 2.6</strong><br>
+files in Jalview 2.6 and Jalview 2.7</strong><br>
Structures imported via the cut'n'paste dialog box will not be correctly
highlighted or coloured when they are displayed in structure views,
especially if they contain more than one PDB structure. See the bug
-report at http://issues.jalview.org/JAL-623 for news on this problem.</em></p>
