The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is an internationally funded collaboration with sites in three countries and a three-year goal of solving the 3-dimensional structures of more than 380 human proteins with particular medical relevance, and placing them in the public domain without restrictions. The structures should prove an invaluable resource for research into the proteins’ functions and their use as targets for therapeutic intervention; in this the SGC is a successor to the Human Genome Project (HGP). The SGC has benefited from adopting existing, commercialised robotics, and is subsequently working with vendors to adjust performance with its needs.
