The NYCOMPS consortium aims to establish a pipeline for structure determination of membrane proteins, applying structural genomics approaches informed by the collective experience of our team of investigators. NYCOMPS is currently supported as a "development center" by PSI-2, i.e. the second round of structural genomics made possible by the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) at the National Institutes for General Medical Sciences (NIGMS; link) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA. The current five-year funding began in Summer 2005.
