You can use Proteopedia as a reference resource, without authoring any content yourself. Please see:

First time here? Learn the basics by either watching the narrated videos in the Proteopedia Video Guide or follow Getting Started in Proteopedia.
The Primer guides you step-by-step through creating your first molecular scene. There is also a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough of a Proteopedia workshop.
We recommend that the first page you try editing in Proteopedia should be a Sandbox page, as explained in Getting Started in Proteopedia. Please see Help:Sandboxes for an explanation, and instructions on how to create a Sandbox page for your own use.
For editing help, try Help:Editing, which explains, among other things, how to easily insert references to scientific literature citations using PubMed ID numbers, without typing the reference itself! See also How to Make a Page.
Proteopedia:Guidelines for Ethical Writing lists guidelines for avoiding plagiarism, for content attribution, and for re-use of images.

For step-by-step instructions on creating example molecular scenes, try Proteopedia:DIY:Scenes.
If your molecular scenes require a model that is not published in the Protein Data Bank, see Help:Uploading molecules. See also Biological Unit: Showing and instructions for hiding portions of a model at Getting Started.
If you save a page and get XML Error: Mismatched tag at line 1, don't worry, you can recover your page: see Help:Errors.
For simple recipes for including Flash, Imagemap, Floating quote Box, Movies (.mov, .mpeg) etc., try Proteopedia:Cookbook.

To show a static image (jpeg, png, gif) file in a Proteopedia page, first you need to be sure you have the right to share the image and allow unrestricted re-use by others (see Proteopedia:Terms of Service). If yes, then you need to upload the image into Proteopedia: see Video 5: Uploading an image or file and adding an image to a page.
For help on formatting the image within the page, see Wiki markup: Images or for even more detail, Wikipedia:Extended image syntax.

For preparing interactive 3D complements to journal publications (similar to supplementary materials), please see Interactive 3D Complements in Proteopedia.
For hiding these until the date of publication, please see Proteopedia:Workbench.

If you would like to protect a personal page from editing by others, please see Proteopedia:Policy and Help:Protected_Pages.

For examples of Proteopedia articles in non-English languages, and for the rules and policies for such articles, please see Proteopedia:Languages. *For instructions for translating articles to other languages, see Help:Language Translation.
See also Text Directionality regarding right-to-left languages such as Arabic or Hebrew.
