SCRI is responsible for the overall management for the SSGCID structure determination effort as well as protein purifications from bacterial expression and mammalian systems as well as  cloning, expression and purification of protein-protein complexes.

WSU logo 

WSU provides equipment and expertise for NMR-based determination of the structures of a small number of proteins that cannot be solved by X-ray crystallography.
University of Washington logo
The UW PPG provides high-throughput cloning and testing of target proteins in bacterial expression vectors, as well as large-scale protein production and purification.
The UW NMR provides equipment and expertise for NMR-based determinatnion of the structures of a small number of proteins that cannot be solved by X-ray crystallography.

Hampton University provides functional characterization of proteins, training, and education of students in structural biology.

KU Logo

The University of Kansas (KU) provides crystallization screening and production, pre-screening of crystals before they are sent for data collection at the synchrotron beam lines, and structure determination for the SSGCID.

Washington University in St. Louis provides functional characterization of proteins, training, and education of students in structural biology.

Other Partners

SSGCID is working closely with the other NIAID-funded center (CSBID).
