Getting Started

• 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.

Creating Molecular Scenes

• 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.

Teaching and Education

• For Teaching with Proteopedia, see Teaching Strategies Using Proteopedia and Teaching_Scenes, Tutorials, and Educators' Pages.
• High school teachers' resources
• Adoptions in College and University Classes
• Molecular Workbench

Interactive 3D "Supplementary Materials" for Journal Publications

• 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.
