Contents of Proteopedia

Currently, Proteopedia has 274,231 articles (pages), and 6,051 registered users. Proteopedia contains one page (or article) for every entry in the 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 and the abstract of the publication. 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).

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