The NIH has announced on Sept 30 the members of the third Protein Structure Initiative: PSI:Biology Centers for High-Throughput Structure Determination.
Altogether there are 23 grants for structural biology research totaling up to $290 million over the next five years. This is the list of the centers that are expected to 'produce protein structures for functional studies'.
