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. | If the molecule you want to display is available from the [[Protein Data Bank]], you don't need to upload it.

For example, | If you want to upload a modified version of a file available from the [[Protein Data Bank]], please indicate the modification in the filename. For example, there are eight chains in the [[asymmetric unit]] of [[3zsf]], but it is believed that the functional form, the [[biological assembly]], is a single chain. So you might want to delete chains B, C, D, E, F, G, and H from'' the 3zsf.pdb (downloaded from the [[PDB]]), and upload a file containing only chain A. '''Please do not''' name your modified version 3zsf.pdb because that name conflicts with the published, eight-chain version of the file. Give your uploaded file a name that indicates the modification, such as '''3zsf_chain_a.pdb'''. | ||
