What is the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI)?
The Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) is a national research program in the emerging field of structural genomics. The PSI is a large-scale, high-throughput effort to increase the number of structures of unique, non-redundant proteins, permitting the study of a broad range of protein structures. This will be accomplished by a coordinated effort of federal, university, and industrial scientists to reduce costs, increase efficiency and success rates, and decrease the time for the production and determination of the three-dimensional atomic-level structures of proteins.
