'''JSmol''' has proven quite satisfactory for interactive displays of most macromolecules in Proteopedia, and is the default. This avoids the need for Protepedia users to [[Installing_and_enabling_Java|install and enable Java]]. The Java applet Jmol [[User:Eric_Martz/JSmol_Notes#JSmol_is_slower_than_Jmol|performs much faster]], but this enhanced performance is not needed unless the model contains >~30,000 atoms, or multiple larger models (see [[NMR]]). | '''JSmol''' has proven quite satisfactory for interactive displays of most macromolecules in Proteopedia, and is the default.

Performance of JSmol [[User:Eric_Martz/JSmol_Notes#Poor_performance_in_Internet_Explorer.2C_Edge.2C_Chrome_and_Opera|varies with the web browser employed]]. Poorest performance occurs with Internet Explorer and Edge, which are therfore not recommended when using Proteopedia. Most recently (in early 2017), Firefox and Safari significantly outperform Chrome. | |||
Should you wish to try the Java applet, see [[Using Java for Rendering Structures]]. [[Java]], particularly in web browsers, may be a [[Java#Java is a security threat|security risk]], and some [[Java#How to be as safe as possible with Java|simple precautions are recommended]]. | Should you wish to try the Java applet, see [[Using Java for Rendering Structures]].
