Protein structures hint at the shape of things to come
Article Abstract:
An explosion of genome sequence data led scientists to hope that working out protein structures that could become automated and accelerated. The field of structural genomics aims to reveal the shapes of protein by using the information obtained from genome sequencing projects in automated, high-throughput schemes.
