Proteopedia: an Online Encyclopedia of Interactive 3-D Macromolecules
Proteopedia, a new collaborative Web site, is offering not only text
descriptions of proteins and other biomacromolecules related to biological functions
and disease, but also interactive 3-D images.
On the Web site, the 3-D images come with a descriptive text that contains
hyperlinks. Clicking on the links changes the images to display what is being
explained in the text. This format aims to make the complex structural
information comprehensible to everybody.
Proteopedia’s seed material is the entries on each of the more than 50,000
records in the Protein Data Bank. Members of the scientific community are
encouraged to register to be able to edit and expand existing pages, or create new
ones.
The wiki Web resource was developed by researchers at the Weizmann Institute
of Science, in Israel, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of
Maryland, who described their project in an article in Genome Biology. —Maria
