Just a detail, but you also need to ensure that in Tools | Preferences, under 
Structure, the options

- Process secondary structure from PDB

- Add secondary structure annotation to alignment

are selected (and add Temperature Factor if of interest).

Hi Roland,

Jim Procter will be able to give the definitive answer if I miss anything,  but 
you can certainly do this in the current development version (which will be the 
release version very soon...)  You can download this from the "Development" 
page - I usually select the Webstart 2G version.

First download the sequences for your PDB structures:  File->Fetch Sequences 
then PDB.  You can search PDBe with various criteria to select structures you 
want.

Once they are in Jalview goto Colour->By Annotation and choose secondary 
structure.  tick the "Per-sequence only" box.

Now go to the View->Feature Settings  and toggle off the default colouring.

The secondary structure should appear on the sequence alignment as coloured 
blocks.  If you don't want the arrows and cylinders under the alignment you can 
turn these off either individually or as a block.

I think this is a common thing to do so in future releases we'll likely tweak 
the user interface to make it easier.

I hope this helps.

Geoff.

Hello,

Is it possible to color every sequence in an alignment by experimental 
secondary structure for those sequences that have structures in the PDB?

Can I do this automatically or alternatively, can I import a file of secondary 
structure assignments (that I can create) that would indicate what residues to 
color in each sequence? I want to color each sequence differently according to 
whatever its secondary structure is in its experimental structure.

It would be terrific if Jalview could look up structures in the PDB (which it 
currently does) and then color the sequence in the alignment by the 
experimental secondary structure annotated in the PDB files.

Thanks,
Roland
