The Welcome “project” opens when you launch Protean 3D and is a central location for opening protein projects, searching NCBI databases, getting help, and much more. As you add projects, the Welcome “project” will remain as the leftmost tab unless you manually move or close it. We recommend leaving the Welcome tab in place, since it has many time-saving shortcuts to useful commands.
