Customize Your RCSB PDB Homepage
11/22
Customize the RCSB PDB homepage with different widgets.
The RCSB PDB homepage is comprised of web widgets that can be moved around, minimized, or hidden so users can create a website that reflects their interests. Frequently-used features can be moved to the top, while less popular items can be hidden or collapsed.
All widgets with a dark blue bar on top can be moved around on the page by dragging the arrow buttons. The options shown in the widget can be collapsed by selecting "Hide".
Select the Customize This Page button from the left menu to choose which sections are displayed.
Options in the default view include:
Featured Molecules
Read the latest descriptions of the RCSB PDB's Molecule of the Month and the PSI SBKB's Featured System.
Latest Structures
Scrolls through a slideshow of
individual entries that displays the entry title, image, citation, and a
link to the PubMed abstract, if available. Pause the show at any point
to read the entire abstract, click to view the entry's Structure Summary
page, or go straight to the Jmol view of the entry.
Explore Archive
Tour the PDB archive by
"drilling-down" on significant properties of structures like "Organism"
and "Polymer type", with just a few clicks. The widget also gives a
quick statistical overview of the PDB. Users can browse the
charts individually, or view them all together by clicking on the "Show
all" link.
