This page presents some ideas on how to use Proteopedia to advance your scientific career.
Create customized molecular scenes with surprising ease
To get started, see the section "Want To Contribute?" at the Main Page.
Examples of well-developed pages with many customized molecular scenes:
- Avian Influenza Neuraminidase, Tamiflu and Relenza
- Structure of E. coli DnaC helicase loader
- Gramicidin Channel in Lipid Bilayer
Share your molecular scenes with colleagues around the world
Simply email to your colleagues a link to the page you created with your customized molecular scenes. For example http://proteopedia.org/w/Lac_repressor. (Note that the mid-portion of a link to a Proteopedia page, "/wiki/index.php/", can be simplified to "/w/".
Enhance your Thesis or publications with live interactive 3D Complements
Explain structure-function relationships with unequalled clarity
- The helical nature of some molecules, the direction of helices, the difference between right- and left-handed, are more easily grasped thanks to an interactive structure.
- Illustrate any protein your are talking about with not just a simplistic geometric cartoon, but with its real shape and volume.
- Explaining specificity of a protein for binding a ligand is easier when you can show the pocket, the contacts, the distances between key atoms.
- Explaining that a protein changes conformation upon ligand binding: a description that needs understanding what conformation means, and imagination of what is the change involved, but you can just display the animation of such change.
