Proteopedia:About: Difference between revisions

Currently, Proteopedia has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} [[Special:Allpages | articles]] (pages), and {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} [[Special:Listusers | registered users]]. Among other pages, Proteopedia contains one page (or article) for every entry in the [http://www.wwpdb.org World Wide Protein Data Bank]. Proteopedia is updated weekly with new entries shortly after they are released by the Protein Data Bank. Most of these pages, which are titled with a four-character [[PDB code|PDB identification code]], are "seeded" automatically to include a default view of the [[asymmetric unit]], the abstract of the publication, green links to highlight sites and ligands, and molecule-specific links to other viewers and databases. When you go to a random PDB entry, you will get one of these automatically-seeded, PDB-code-titled pages (click ''Random PDB entry'' in the ''random'' box at the upper left).  

In addition to one machine-generated page about each entry in the Protein Data Bank (PDB identification code-titled pages), there are  human-authored ''articles'' titled with the name of a molecule or a subject, instead of a PDB identification code. Some of these articles that have substantial content are listed at [[Proteopedia:Topic_Pages | Topic Pages]], or you can browse a [[Special:Allpages/a | complete list of articles not titled with a PDB identification code]]. There are also articles [[About Macromolecular Structure]]. If you click "Random article" in the "random" box at the upper left, you will get one of these human-authored articles.
