This article gives step by step instructions for uploading an [[atomic coordinate file]] (a "molecule" or [[PDB file]]) for use in molecular scenes in Proteopedia.
This article gives step by step instructions for uploading an [[atomic coordinate file]] (a "molecule" or [[PDB file]]) for use in molecular scenes in Proteopedia.
This article assumes you are familiar with Proteopedia's [[Scene authoring tools|Molecular Scene Authoring Tools]] ([[SAT]]). If you want to improve your familiarity with the SAT, the best place to start is with the [[Proteopedia:Video_Guide|Video Guides]].

If the molecule you want to display is available from the [[Protein Data Bank]], you don't need to upload it. In the ''load molecule'' dialog of the [[Scene authoring tools|Molecular Scene Authoring Tools]] ([[SAT]]), simply give the [[PDB code]], and Proteopedia will obtain the PDB file for you.
