= | '''Purpose:''' | ||
Proteopedia.Org<ref>PMID:21536137</ref><ref name="pubs">[[Proteopedia:About#How_to_cite_Proteopedia|Additional publications about Proteopedia.]]</ref> is a free, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki] encyclopedia of protein 3D molecular structure and function. | |||
See [[Proteopedia:About#Proteopedia_Mission_Statement|Mission & Goals]]. | |||
Proteopedia | '''History:''' | ||
Proteopedia was [[Proteopedia:About#Credits|created in 2007]] by [[Proteopedia:Team#Proteopedia_Founders_.26_Developers|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:''' | |||
(Use | * [[JSmol]] displays interactive 3D protein molecules (see [[Proteopedia:About#Implementation|Implementation]]). | ||
* '''[[Phosphofructokinase (PFK)|{{Font color|#00b000|Green links}}]]''' change the 3D interactive molecular scene, showing what is described in the green-linked text. Example: [[Phosphofructokinase (PFK)]]. | |||
* [[Scene authoring tools|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! [[Proteopedia:Video_Guide#Video_7:_Adding_scenes_.28green_links.29|Video Demonstration]]. Your scenes are '''immediately online'''. Use [http://firstglance.jmol.org FirstGlance in Jmol] to understand your macromolecule first. | |||
'''Contents:''' | |||
Proteopedia has two kinds of pages: | |||
* "Seeded" pages created automatically (no human involved) for each of the >200,000<ref name="now">In March, 2024.</ref> [[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<ref name="now" /><ref name="mtds">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, mostly student practice pages, contain the word [[Sandboxes|Sandbox]].</ref> user-authored pages. A well-developed example is [[Hemoglobin]]. Especially well-developed pages are assigned DOIs ([[Digital object identifier]]s), making them citable publications. [[Hemoglobin]] is an example, and see [[Special:PagesWithDOI|pages with DOIs]]. Some pages explain structural biology terminology and concepts (see [[About Macromolecular Structure]], >100<ref name="now" /> pages), while others analyse a single protein, or a family of proteins (see the [[Proteopedia:Structure_Index|Structure Index]], about 1,250<ref name="now" /> pages). | |||
'''Usage:''' | |||
Proteopedia pages have been viewed > [[Special:Statistics|300 million]] times since its inception. 109<ref name="now" /> user-authored pages have been viewed >50,000 times each (see [https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Popularpages&limit=1000&offset=0 Popular pages]). [[Proteopedia:News#Adoptions_in_College_and_University_Classes|University Professors]] assign students to author content in Proteopedia. There are {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} user accounts, many for students, but only a fraction of the users have authored well-developed content. | |||
