Structural genomics is a large, international project, started around 2001, that aims to determine new protein structures using high throughput techniques, and to develop faster techniques for [[X-ray crystallography]] and [[NMR]]. | |||
Protein sequences are often selected for structure determination because they represent a sequence-family for which no member's structure is known. These are called ''target sequences''. Many of the institutions participating in structural genomics report their target sequences, and their progress in determining their structures, in the [http://targetdb.sbkb.org/TargetDB/ Target Database for Structural Biology]. | |||
