Main Activities (of the Joint Usage and Research Center for Proteins)
-
01
Joint usage of advanced facilities and equipment
IPR provides access to its synchrotron beamline at SPring-8, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers with ultra-high sensitivities, and Cryo-electron microscopes to protein researchers worldwide.
-
02
Access to databases
IPR has developed a protein structural database (PDB: Protein Data Bank) as PDBj (PDB Japan), one of the four members of the wwPDB (worldwide PDB), by annotating the deposited data from structural biologists in Asia and Oceania and by providing several original services and derived databases. PDBj-BMRB is also constructing an NMR experimental database, collaborating with BMRB (BioMagResBank) in the U.S.A.

03
Collaborations including those leading to the development of human resources
Through public invitations to join the 8 collaborative programs above, we contribute to domestic and international communities devoted to protein sciences and the development of human resources.
Activities
Our major activities are to promote 1. Joint usage of advanced facilities and equipment, 2. Access to databases, and 3. Collaborations including those leading to the development of human resources. Through these activities, we aim to activate protein and life science communities.
