11.3: Interactive Molecules and Proteins - Direct Embedding
Our molecule adding video tutorial on YouTube: youtu.be/-Md0Y90LhyY
An interactive protein/chemical can be embedded into pages via the following steps. A more advanced Molecule Generator is discussed elsewhere.
Step 1: Identify the page you want to edit
For example, let’s say we want to edit this page:
and swap out the collagen image for an interactive image
Step 2: Identify the desired ID code
There are several ways, but best to just grab the PDB code. From the PDB, we can see the code we want is 1BKV: https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1bkv
Step 3: Edit the page (in edit mode)
Edit the page using "Edit" on black bar.
Step 4: Press Elements on toolbar
Step 5: Press Templates on toolbar
Step 6: Press “EmbedGLMol” and when queried press “Insert template”
Step 7: Edit Code
The above steps insert this red box with code. You can edit the second line (<script type…) accordingly. The simple thing is to change the code “=1a3n” to the PDB code you desire, in this case “=1bkv” and save
Step 8: Review
Review and if cool, we erase the old image (but keep the caption). There are many options to this system and we are still working them out, but you can see them in the Molecular Generator:
