Adoptions

Some bioinformatics databases and resources have adopted Proteopedia. This means that they have chosen to offer links to Proteopedia for the benefit of their users.

• Jmol Tutorial-Authoring Template (JTAT) automatically provides a link to Proteopedia for each PDB file illustrated in its tutorials. August, 2008.

• Molecule of the Month by David Goodsell provides links to Proteopedia in some recent articles. An example is at the end of the second page of the article on Selenocysteine Synthase. August, 2008.

• OCA Database and Browser for 3D macromolecular structure has a link from each PDB entry to Proteopedia. August, 2008.

• Protein Data Bank (see Proteopedia's page on the Protein Data Bank), has a link from each PDB entry to Proteopedia, but we dare you to find it. OK, we'll tell you: At the Structure Summary tab/page for a given PDB code, in the menu at left, click on External LInks. On that page, you'll find a link to Proteopedia under Structure Summary. If you think Proteopedia deserves to be easier to find at RCSB, please email info AT rcsb DOT org. In May, 2008, an international group of several structural bioinformaticians and crystallographers requested that a link to Proteopedia replace the present Jmol link under Display Options at the upper right of the main Structure Summary page for each entry, but that request was denied.

• Pfam, a large database of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models, will offer links to Proteopedia beginning with Pfam release 23. August, 2008.

• PSI Structural Genomics Knowledge Base has a link to Proteopedia, on its Annotations tab, for every PDB entry. August, 2008.
