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:
“I had let preadolescence creep up on me without paying much attention—and I seriously underestimated this insidious phase of child development. You hear about it, but you’re not a true believer until it jumps out at you in the shape of your own, until recently quite companionable child.”
—Susan Ferraro (20th century)
