Welcome to Proteopedia.

You're encouraged to take a look around. Use the toolbar on the left to either search for a specific page, or click "Random page" to view a random page.

What is Proteopedia?

Proteopedia is a free and collaborative, 3D encyclopedia of proteins, RNA, DNA, and their assemblies and interacting small molecules with emphasis on three-dimensional structure where relevant to function.

Mission Statement

To collect and disseminate structural biological and biological knowledge about proteins, RNA, DNA, and their assemblies and interacting small molecules in a manner that is relevant and accessible to scientists of all the biological and chemical fields.

Goals for Proteopedia

• To maintain low barriers for contribution.
• To continue to develop the concept of tying text to three-dimensional, interactive images.
• To serve as a forum for scientists to share and discuss information related to proteins, macromolecules, and small molecules and chemicals of interest.

What if I am new here?

We invite you to browse Proteopedia and suggest you visit the Hemoglobin, Aricept-Acetylcholinesterase, and Paraoxynase by directed evolution pages to get a feel for Proteopedia. Remember to click on the green links!

We encourage you to check out our site, take a look around, and edit pages freely (you need a user account to edit at the moment, so ask us for one).
