Homology Modeling centers
- Joint Center For Molecular Modeling
- New Methods For High-Resolution Comparative Modeling
|
Resource Centers
Two centers are being established to centralize resources
developed by the PSI centers and increase the scientific community’s
access to them.
- Psi Materials Repository
Principal Investigator: Joshua LaBaer, Harvard Institute of Proteomics
PSI Knowledgebase
The PSI Knowledgebase, still being planned by NIGMS, will serve as a
headquarters for structural information generated by the PSI centers.
For every protein, scientists will be able to find the best available
information about its structure, biological function, and experimental
determination. Scientists will be able to submit requests for protein
structures they’d like the PSI to determine.
