Can't access PDB (Protein Data Base) Plugin-based page
OS: MacOS Yosemite 10.10.3. Can't access the webpage http://www.callutheran.edu/Academic_P.../lzipmast.htm which uses a PDB plugin. I don't know if there are any plugins for this format (s?), in FireFox or anything else for that matter. Safari reports that "the file sype is not specified", so perhaps there's an error in the webpage itself (humor: "those sloppy biologists with their $5 million-plus electron microscopes, but they don't know anything about computers..")

This page hasn't been modified since before Firefox was a browser. There's probably a plugin out there for Internet Explorer v6 that will display this content. But you'd have to find a computer with Windows XP SP1 that has never updated Internet Explorer, and then find and install the plugin, to get this to work.
You can download the file directly, if you want to try to find a program which will open it: http://www.callutheran.edu/Academic_Programs/Departments/BioDev/omm/lzipper/pdbs/lzipdna1.pdb
