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.

Once a file is uploaded to Proteopedia, it becomes publicly available and anyone can view it and download it. If the file is one you created entirely from your own work, it is OK to upload it. If the file is the work of others, or derived from the work of others, be sure that you have permission to share it publicly before uploading it to Proteopedia. | |||
=Uploading a file from www.pdb.org after modifying it= | |||
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 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'''. | If you want to upload a modified version of a file available from the [[Protein Data Bank]], please indicate the modification in the filename.
