Proteopedia is a wiki, 3D encyclopedia of proteins and other molecules.[1][2][3][4]
Website[edit]
The site contains a page for all of the entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), as well as pages that are more descriptive of protein structures in general such as acetylcholinesterase,[5] hemoglobin,[6] and the photosystem II[7] with a Jmol view that highlights functional sites and ligands. It employs a scene-authoring tool so that users do not have to learn JSmol script language to create customized molecular scenes. Custom scenes are easily attached to "green links" in descriptive text that display those scenes in JSmol. A web browser is all that is needed to access the site and the 3D information; no viewers are required to be installed.
Proteopedia was the winner of the 2010 award for the best website by The Scientist magazine.[8]

Very absorbing. Kept me looking and playing (and learning) with it for a long time. Very informative and a good resource.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
