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 José Viñas Posted on Wednesday August 27, 2008 http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ************** It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
