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 & Powerful Capabilities:
- JSmol displays interactive 3D protein molecules (see Implementation).
- Green links change the 3D interactive molecular scene, showing what is described in the green-linked text. Example: Phosphofructokinase (PFK).
- Molecular-scene authoring tools make it easy to customize molecular scenes. Proteopedia is the easiest place to create molecular scenes with the colors and renderings (solid, cartoon, ball and stick, etc.) you want. You use buttons and forms. No command language needed! Video Demonstration. Your scenes are immediately online. Use FirstGlance in Jmol to understand your molecule first.
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.
- Human-authored pages. There are several thousand[1][2] user-authored pages. A well-developed example is Hemoglobin. Especially well-developed pages are 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 less-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.
