Phase 3
The third phase of the PSI is called PSI:Biology and is intended to reflect the emphasis on the biological relevance of the work. During this phase, highly organized networks of investigators will apply the new paradigm of high-throughput structure determination, which was successfully developed during the earlier phases of the PSI, to study a broad range of important biological and biomedical problems. The network includes centers for high-throughput structure determination, centers for membrane protein structure determination, consortia for high-throughput-enabled structural biology partnerships, the SBKB and the PSI-MR. The PSI also supports two additional components: technology development for high-throughput structural biology research and technology development for protein modeling. There is an ongoing announcement for applications to establish partnerships between researchers interested in a biological problem of significant scope and researchers within the PSI:Biology network.

Famous quotes containing the word phase:
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
