These instructions refer to [[PDB files]], but the format of the [[atomic coordinate file]] does not matter.

Compress the PDB file, especially if it is more than ~200 kilobytes in size. Use WinZip in Windows, Finders "compress" in Mac OS X, or gzip. Files compressed by these methods are recognized and decompressed automatically by Jmol. If you're not sure about your compression method, simply try dragging the compressed PDB file and dropping it into the black window of the [[Jmol/Application|Jmol application]]. If the molecule appears, Jmol decompressed it automatically. | |||
