# Main Menus
# Entry List

The Entry List is a list of all of the structures that have been loaded into the environment.
The Load, Plugin, Display, Color, Modify, Select, and Macro Menus can be displayed by clicking their respective icons located at the bottom of the Entry List.
# Quest Limiter

The Quest Limiter is an indicator that shows how close the current amount of atoms is to hitting the limit of Quest's computing capability. This indicator only shows up in the Quest version of Nanome software. When the amount of atoms approaches or hit the limit, the following prompts will show up.


# Hierarchy Menu


Hierarchy menus lists out the component of an entity, such as chains and residues, in hierarchical levels.
# Different Browsing Modes (Small, Medium, Large)



Different Viewing Modes can be toggled to modify the substructure icon sizes in each menu.
# Frame Data


Frame data allows users to navigate and modify different frames of the same structure (Academic and Enterprise only).
# Electron Density Maps


The Electron Density tab shows the configuration of viewing the Electron Density Map of the structure (Academic and Enterprise only).
# Menu Actions
