Exploiting Genomic Diversity in Target Selection Structural domains Targets Based on a 30% ID cutoff for good quality homology modeling Species
NYSGRC Mission Statement • Establish and exploit a technology platform for high-throughput protein structure determination with X-ray crystallography. • Targets are chosen from archaea, eubacteria, and eukaryotes with the goal of providing one experimental protein structure for each protein sequence family defined at the 30% identity levelPDB. • Preference is given to targets of high biological or medical relevance, provided that they also satisfy the 30% sequence identity criterion. • Perform high-throughput comparative protein structure (a.k.a. homology) modeling on all sequences within modeling distance (>30% identity) of each experimental structureMODBASE. • Provide accurate functional annotations and supply molecular biology/protein reagents to relevant experts.
