View Domain Annotations in 3D

Sequence Details pages for all protein structures now include a Jmol view of the structure that can display domain annotations from SCOP, CATH, DP, PDP, Pfam, and InterPro.

To activate this view from a structure summary page, first select the Sequence Details tab. The default view displays a 2D graphical representation of the UniProt, PDB-ATOM and PDB-SEQRES sequences. Users can also select third-party domain annotations from this 2D image to appear with the corresponding structure in a Jmol viewer.

To view these annotations mapped onto the 3D structure, select [show 3D in Jmol] from the top of the page. Then, click on any of the domains on the sequence view. The corresponding colors for that domain will appear in the 3D Jmol viewer. The annotations shown in Jmol can change by clicking on an annotation shown in the 2D view.

By default, the Jmol window stays positioned on the top of the page. Select [dynamic Jmol position] to have the Jmol viewer adjust so that it is always to the top right of the page as you scroll down.
