PSI Structural Genomics Knowledgebase

New Web Portal to Advance Wide Range of Protein Studies
"The Protein Structure Initiative (PSI), an effort supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has launched an online resource that will enable scientists from across biomedical disciplines to easily access a wealth of information about proteins."

"The Protein Structure Initiative Structural Genomics Knowledgebase (PSI SGKB) is designed to turn the products of the Protein Structure Initiative effort into knowledge that is important for understanding living systems and disease. The PSI SGKB is a key resource in the advancement of biology, biochemistry, functional genomics, pharmacology, bioinformatics, education and clinical medicine."


Another interesting and interactive component of this new web portal is Functional Sleuth. Here are presented "PSI structures which lack full functional annotation. Explore these protein structures and add your input about the possible functions."
