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:
“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line—the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
