oh nice i've been waiting for something like this to pop up in the zotero ecosystem. the built-in pdf reader is already pretty solid for highlighting but having a protein viewer layered in there is a huge time saver

my bookshelf is color coded so you know i appreciate when tools just slot in where you need them. hate switching between five different windows just to cross reference a structure while reading a paper

any idea if it handles large complexes well or does it choke on anything over a few thousand residues? might finally get my labmates to adopt zotero if this runs smooth

7k residues works like a charm but I would be happy to have a feedback for complexes bigger than that!

Did you use AI for that?

yes. Code is open source, so feel free to review it, improve it, or build your own version if you prefer.

This is actually awesome. I thought about doing something like this as well because trying to find the structure while reading a paper was annoying.
bravo my friend
