Watch the [[Proteopedia:Video_Guide#Video_5:_Uploading_an_image_or_file_and_adding_an_image_to_a_page|short video that demonstrates uploading a file]]. The video concerns an image file, but will still be quite helpful. The steps below concern a [[PDB file]] or "molecule". | Watch the [[Proteopedia:Video_Guide#Video_5:_Uploading_an_image_or_file_and_adding_an_image_to_a_page|short video that demonstrates uploading a file]].

Use WinZip in Windows, Finder's "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. | ||
