<big>''Here's an excerpt from one of our pages ([[1eve]]):''</big>

The anti-Alzheimer's drug E2020 (marketed as Aricept&reg;) is an inhibitor that binds acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with high affinity. The X-ray structure of the E2020-AChE (AChE from ''Torpedo california'') complex shows that E2020 has a '''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84_279/12'>unique orientation</scene>''' along the active-site gorge, extending from the anionic subsite ('''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84lbld/6'>W84</scene>''') of the active site, at the bottom, to the peripheral anionic site ('''<scene name='1eve/E2020_close_up_with_84_279lbld/4'>near W279</scene>'''), at the top, via aromatic stacking interactions with conserved aromatic acid residues. E2020 does not, however, interact directly with either the catalytic triad or the 'oxyanion hole' but only '''<scene name='1eve/E20_interactionshown/7'>indirectly via solvent molecules</scene>'''.

===How can I find my protein/molecule?===

<big>'''Search'''</big> Proteopedia using the search box in the toolbar to the left. See also [[Help:Searching]].

Proteopedia already contains '''>50,000 pages''', including an automatically-generated page for every published macromolecular 3D structure (to see some of these, click ''Random Page'' in the navigation box at the upper left), plus [[Proteopedia:Topic Pages | Topic Pages]] providing an overview of a class of molecules or other structural topics.

===Want to contribute?===

<font color='green'>Green links</font> are easy to make! We encourage you to '''edit pages freely''' and to '''[[Help:Editing#How_To_Create_A_New_Page | add new pages]].

You will need a user account in order to edit or add pages. Please go ahead and '''[[Special:RequestAccount|request a user account]]'''.

If you have any questions, you can email {{Template:Contact}}.

These resources may help you familiarize yourself with the editing process. Trust us, the editing process is very simple: All text is edited the same way that Wikipedia is edited, so it must be easy! And all scenes (green links) are created using our user-friendly ''Scene authoring tools''. Of course it helps to familiarize yourself with the site and how to go about editing, so check out these resources:

*<big>The [[Proteopedia:Video_Guide | Proteopedia Video Guide]] is a narrated video guide that serves both as a starting point as well as a reference. </big>

*The [[Help:Editing | '''Editing Help Page''']].

*The help page for the [[Scene authoring tools]].

* [[Proteopedia:Policies]]

===What Can Proteopedia Do For Me?===

* Scientists and Students: a reference resource for understanding protein 3D structure-function relationships. Example: [[1eve | Acetylcholinesterase bound to Aricept, an anti-Alzheimer's drug]].

* Educators: develop tutorials or molecular scenes to project during lectures, or for student use. Examples: [[Teaching Scenes, Tutorials, and Educators' Pages]]. Assign students to construct pages in Proteopedia for class projects or reports: see [[Student Projects]]. See also [[Teaching Strategies Using Proteopedia]].

You may protect your teaching pages from unwanted editing by others -- see [[Help:Protected Pages]].

* Structural Researchers: create supplementary materials for your journal publications, and pages about your research team or institute, highlighting structures you have researched. For examples, see [[Research Groups]].

You may protect such pages from unwanted editing by others -- see [[Help:Protected Pages]].

===Proteopedia Mission Statement===

To collect, organize and disseminate structural and functional knowledge about protein, RNA, DNA, and other macromolecules, and their assemblies and interactions with small molecules, in a manner that is relevant and broadly accessible to students and scientists.

===Goals for Proteopedia===

* To serve as a forum for the scientific community to share, retrieve and discuss information related to proteins, macromolecules, and small molecules and chemicals of interest.

* To continue to develop the concept of tying text to three-dimensional, interactive images.

* To maintain low barriers for contribution.

* To foster collaborations between students and experts, signed with their real names.

===About Proteopedia: How to Cite Proteopedia / News/ Contact ===
