Structural Genomics Consortium

From Proteopedia

The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) according to their site "is a public-private partnership to promote the development of new medicines by carrying out basic science of relevance to drug discovery. The core mandate of the SGC is to determine 3D structures of proteins of biomedical importance and proteins that represent potential drug targets". They have an open-access policy.
As of September 2010, the international team of 180 scientists solved its 1,000th structure.
