*Proteopedia loads only amino acid alpha carbon atoms (or nucleic acid phosphorus atoms) and ligand atoms, since its ribbon view (secondary structure schematic) works fine without the other atoms. A prominent message is displayed that a ''simplified model'' is being shown, and there is a button to load the complete model. For registered users who are logged in, Proteopedia has a preference setting that will use Jmol_S instead of JSmol.

JSmol runs in the javascript of the browser (HTML5). Different web browsers operate JSmol with very different performances. '''Chrome runs JSmol best''', Safari is good, and Firefox is usually OK (see note under table below). '''Internet Explorer is unacceptably slow''' (all versions, including version 11), and [http://www.netmarketshare.com it is the most widely used browser]. In '''Opera, rotation of the molecule is slow and jerky'''.
