===How Do I Display My Molecule?=== | |||
First, you should search the [[Protein Data Bank]] to see if the molecule you wish to display has a published empirically-determined structure. The best way to search is by protein sequence (Advanced Search, Sequence). If you find a suitable model, be sure to write down the 4-character [[PDB code]] that uniquely identifies that model. The [[PDB code]] can simply be entered into Proteopedia's Molecular [[Scene Authoring Tools]]. Proteopedia will get the model automatically, directly from the [[PDB]]. | |||
If you have a custom model, not available (at least in the form you wish to use) from the [[Protein Data Bank]], you can upload it into Proteopedia, and then use it in a molecular scene. Instructions: [[Help:Uploading molecules]]. | |||
