Abstract:
Two major structural genomics projects exist in Japan. The oldest, the RIKEN Structural Genomics Initiative, has two major goals: to determine bacterial, mammalian, and plant protein structures by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy and to perform functional analyses with the target proteins. The newest, the structural genomics project at the Biological Information Research Center, focuses on human membrane proteins.
