Purpose: Proteopedia.Org is a free, open source, wiki encyclopedia of protein 3D molecular structure and function. See Mission & Goals.
History: Proteopedia was created in 2007 by three initial founders at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. It was created after Wikipedia declined to include Jmol for molecular visualization.
Unique Capabilities:
Proteopedia uses JSmol to display interactive 3D protein molecules (see Implementation).
Contents: Proteopedia has two kinds of pages:
- "Seeded" pages created automatically (no human involved) for each of the >200,000[1] empirical models in the Protein Data Bank. Each seeded page is titled with a PDB code. Example: 6zgg.
A well-developed example is Hemoglobin. Especially well-developed pages are manually assigned DOIs (Digital object identifiers), making them citable publications. Hemoglobin is an example, and see pages with DOIs.
Usage: (Use statistics go here)
There are 5,991 user accounts, but only a fraction of the users have authored content.
Notes:
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 In March, 2024.
- ↑ The count depends on whether you exclude poorly-developed pages with almost no content. There are > 8,000 user-authored pages (excluding the namespaces for User pages, uploaded images, and Categories), but some have little content, and 3,200 of them contain the word Sandbox.
