Homology Modeling centers

  • Joint Center For Molecular Modeling
  • New Methods For High-Resolution Comparative Modeling

Resource Centers

Two centers are being established to centralize resources developed by the PSI centers and increase the scientific community’s access to them.
  • Psi Materials Repository
  • Principal Investigator: Joshua LaBaer, Harvard Institute of Proteomics

  • PSI Knowledgebase
  • The PSI Knowledgebase, still being planned by NIGMS, will serve as a headquarters for structural information generated by the PSI centers. For every protein, scientists will be able to find the best available information about its structure, biological function, and experimental determination. Scientists will be able to submit requests for protein structures they’d like the PSI to determine.
