Load from Archives

You can easily load structures & volumes from archives with an URL parameter. We support PDB, PDB-Dev, EMDB, AlphaFold DB, and Model Archive

  • PDB: https://molstar.org/viewer/?pdb=7VUI
  • EMDB: https://molstar.org/viewer/?emdb-provider=rcsb&emdb=EMD-13614

Note that for best speed you can specify to download from RCSB PDB, PDBe, or PDBj using the pdb-provider parameter, depending where you are.
