What you can do:

Find information about the biological function of proteins whose structures have been identified by the Protein Structure Initiative.

Highlights:

The Protein Structure Initiative Material Repository provides centralized storage and distribution for the protein expression plasmids created by PSI researchers.
The plasmid annotation, which includes the full length sequence, vector information and associated publications, is stored in a freely available, searchable database called DNASU (http://dnasu.asu.edu).
Each PSI plasmid is also linked to a variety of additional resources, which facilitates cross-referencing of a particular plasmid to protein annotations and experimental data.
Plasmid samples can be requested directly through the website.
A novel strategy was developed to avoid the most common concern encountered when distributing plasmids namely, the complexity of material transfer agreement (MTA) processing and the resulting delays this causes.
The Expedited Process MTA, which is a network of institutions that agree to the terms of transfer in advance of a material request, eliminates these delays.
