Remixing refers to assembling a text from multiple sources. You might want to make a page about the citric acid, and want to incorporate 3D scenes from existing articles on the individual enzymes.
Remixing refers to assembling a text from multiple sources. For example, you might want to make a page about the citric acid, and want to incorporate 3D scenes from existing articles on the individual enzymes. First, search whether there is such an article already (there is, [[Citric Acid Cycle]]). If not, you can start a new page and remix as described below.

Content written on Proteopedia is available with a CC-BY licences, so you are welcome to reuse it here or elsewhere, but have to attribute the source. Within Proteopedia, the culture is to include a section called [[Proteopedia Page Contributors and Editors|content donors]], and list contributions from people other than yourself there. When remixing for a new page on Proteopedia, it makes sense to start with that section, and list the sources from which you are about to remix.

These steps are shown graphically below. At this point, you should add the URL of the scene to your Content Donor section. You should attribute the page (there is no obligation to find the specific author among the source page's multiple authors).

Then, go to the scene authoring tool (SAT) of your new page, and load the scene (by entering the source page name, and selecting scene and version number). Modify it if you need, add a caption, and save it under a name that makes sense in the new context. Some scenes do not appear in the SAT under the page name you expect. If you get stuck, look at the source of the script (e.g. 77/778334/A_chain/1 is at proteopedia.org/wiki/scripts/77/778334/A_chain/1.spt). On the line that starts with "# documentBase", you will find the page where the script originated after the string "title=". Using this page name in the SAT, you should be able to load the scene, modify it, and save it for your new page.

If you don't want to modify the scene at all (no new caption, no new orientation, no new transition options), you could also add it by pasting a scene block directly into the text, e.g.  <pre><scene name='77/778334/A_chain/1'></pre>

First, check what the licensing terms are and whether they are compatible with CC-BY-3.0, the license on user-created Proteopedia content. If you have permission or received permission from the author, obtain the state script (go into the Jmol console and press the State button), and figure out which coordinates the scene is based on. In the SAT on your new page, load the pdb, run the state script by pasting it into the Jmol console, and save the scene.
