===[[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.

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 identification code, are "seeded" automatically to include a default view of the asymmetric unit, the abstract of the publication, green links to sites and ligands, and molecule-specific links to other viewers and databases. When you go to a random page, you nearly always get one of these automatically-seeded, PDB-code-titled pages (click ''Random Page'' in the ''navigation'' box at the upper left), because of their abundance.

In addition to one article about each entry in the Protein Data Bank (PDB identification code-titled articles), there are  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]].
