Structural biology everywhere • 13 Nobel prizes since 1st protein structure solved • Covers on Nature, Science, Cell, …

But, structural biology still suffers from a communication problem • Often communicating 3D in 2D • And not that accessible to non-structural biologists that don’t have experience with molecular visualization programs • Structural Biology, needs to make a special effort to develop tools for communication and accessibility, specifically better tools to integrate 3D structure with functional information

Just some of the Great tools! • KING (“kinemage” kinetic image) • Protein Explorer • FirstGlance in Jmol • PDBSum • Kumar & Ziegler
GOAL: to make structural information instantly accessible to a broad scientific audience 3 Key Elements: • Present 3D information in an intuitive manner • A web browser is all you need • Content can be added by anyone, easily, without need to add on/purchase a program
Proteopedia aids in makingstructural information more understandable & accessible 3 Key Elements: • Present 3D information in an intuitive manner • A web browser is all you need • Content can be added by anyone, easily, without need to add on/purchase a program
Lets take a look at another example poly(A) polymerase

http://www.proteopedia.org Proteopedia • Built on Open Source tools: • MediaWiki • Jmol • Content is free under GNU FDL license (same as Wikipedia). Proteopedia just the vehicle for creation & dissemination • Content - can be added by anyone, easily via user friendly authoring tools to link text to 3D structures.
A wiki for the scientific community • Names of contributors are listed on each page to give credit & add responsibility
A wiki for the scientific community Each User can have a special area that only she/he can edit - useful for: • Tutorials • Lectures • Supplementary information for journal articles
Proteopedia is already in use & evolving with feedback(over 200 registered users)
How are people using it? • As a 3D encyclopedia • and…

What to expect as a Viewing User? • Explore, but don’t expect to find a well-developed page on your favorite protein • Use the PDB entry pages to get Abstract + 3D structure on the same page
Proteopedia allows you to be creative • Even though the tools are here, and the technical barriers lowered dramatically via Proteopedia’s relative ease of use … • It still takes some thought to make a good page!
Proteopedia linked to from PSI-Nature Knowledge Base
Coming soon • Biological molecule vs asymmetric unit • Color by evolutionary conservation • Save high resolution snapshots of 3D structures
You’re invited! Proteopedia can help you with • Effective & intuitive communication of structural information • Creating 3D figures for publications • Engaging structural tutorials & lectures Without you,Proteopedia is just a tool
