eProtS

eProtS (Encyclopedia of Protein Structures) is a dictionary with pictures of the protein three-dimensional structures, for understanding the tertiary structures and the biological functions for several selected protein molecules that are particularly important for biology. This Web site can be prepared for the general audience. As it is a wiki-based repository of documents, any people can deposit or edit documents as well as browse.

PDBj Games

Two types of games about protein are available.

Pelmanism game

Pelmanism game to search pairs with same amino acid or protein by turning over cards.

Snake game

This is the "Snake Game". Operate "Ribosome", which construct protein chain, to create the specified peptide sequence. When it crashes to the wall, the life decreases. The game is over when the rest life comes to zero.
