Protein Structure Initiative

The Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) is a scientific effort to understand how proteins, the essential molecules in our bodies, are built and how they work. By determining the 3D shapes of thousands of proteins, researchers can gain insights into their functions, helping in drug development and treating diseases. The PSI uses advanced techniques to rapidly map protein structures, making this knowledge more accessible and applicable in medicine, biotechnology, and basic science, ultimately advancing our understanding of biology at the molecular level.
