#standard practice is to use a STRUCTURE Box
#standard practice is to use a "StructureSection", i.e. a window on the right with scrollable text on the left.
##Press the '3D' button at the top of the page while editing to easily insert the basic code for one.
##new pages contain the code for this already
##example wikitext: <nowiki>{{STRUCTURE_1dq8| right| PDB=1dq8  | SCENE=HMG-CoA_Reductase/1dq8_starting_scene/1 |CAPTION= Crystal Structure of Human HMG-CoA Reductase Catalytic Domain, [[1dq8]] }}
##example wikitext: <nowiki><StructureSection load='1stp' size='340' side='right' caption='Caption for this structure' scene=''> ... </StructureSection>
</nowiki>
</nowiki>
#the custom is to align 3D structure to the right
#if your page lacks a StructureSection and you need one, click on the "green window" icon in the editing tools
#use an initial scene (by changing the "scene=" parameter) that shows a good overview of the protein
#use an initial scene (by setting "load=''" and inserting the scene in the "scene=" parameter)
#have a descriptive caption
#make sure all your scenes have captions
#include an interwiki link to the PDB entry in the caption
#include an interwiki link to the PDB entry in the captions
#preferably that show a different view of the protein compared to the 3D structure in the introduction, (i.e. if the introductory 2D image is in cartoon, make the 3D structure in spacefill)
