What's the best way to embed a pdb crystal structure into a wikipedia article? Is there a gadget that allows reader to rotate & zoom? Or is static png the way to go?
I realized what I actually want: A widget that will display a molecular dynamics trajectory of the system, while allowing user to rotate, zoom, pull on atoms, etc. ... Comp. people get to work :)

One of the web widgets they offer at the PDB might work in the context of Wikipedia but I would guess this is one to have a wider conversation about? Andrew Su and Tony Williams would have an idea of the logistics at least.

The Jmol community has been trying for a long time now to get it available in Wikipedia... you could ask on jmol-users@ ...

As part of the Gene Wiki effort, we uploaded ~66k thumbnail images created by the EBI to wikicommons, and categorized them by SCOP. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki... Of course, they are auto-generated so they probably don't illustrate what you'd want to illustrate.. (and certainly not an MD trajectory...)

Thanks! Oh, and BTW, I was kidding about the MD trajectory, including the ability for the reader to pull on atoms in a real-time MD simulation. :)

Jmol has been up for discussion for a long time. I am not aware of any movement to support it at present. You might want to put the crystal structure hosted in Jmol elsewhere and make a link to it from the Wikipedia page rather than having it in the Wikipedia article itself.
