Structure Loader

Click on "The structure loader button" which will open a new tab in the center window. Load a structure into CAD by either entering the PDB number into the space "the image loader dialog with 2ocj typed in", then clicking the plus OR by clicking "the upload button" to load a structure from your computer. Loaded files will be listed in the order they are loaded. A circle of dots appears until it is loaded, at which time it becomes a check mark.

The Structure Loader converts the structure into a format that is readable to CAD. This means that non-protein atoms will be removed and non-canonical amino acids will be mutated to the closest canonical amino acid. It also alters the residues numbering. The first residue will be changed to #1 and so on. Residues that are missing a heavy atom in the backbone will be deleted.
