History of Proteopedia
Proteopedia.Org is a free, open source, wiki encyclopedia of protein 3D molecular structure and function. It uses JSmol to display interactive 3D protein molecules (see Implementation). 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.
Contents of Proteopedia
Proteopedia has two kinds of pages:
- "Seeded" pages created automatically (no human involved) for each of the >200,000 empirical models in the Protein Data Bank. Each seeded page is titled with a PDB code. Example: 6zgg.
- Human-authored pages.
