Unreferenced date July 2007 The TB StructuralGenomics Consortium is a worldwide consortium of scientists developing a foundation for tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment by determining the 3 dimensional structures of protein s from M. Tuberculosis. The consortium seeks to solve structures of proteins that are of great interest to the TB biology community. A major goal of the consortium is to have a putative function for every ORF in the TB genome . Activities As of June 2006, 82 TB protein structures have been determined, 15 since January 1, 2006. The database of linked structuralgenomicsstructural and functional genomics functional information that has been constructed using this information can form a lasting basis for understanding M. tuberculosis pathogenesis and for structure based drug design. As of June 2006, the TB StructuralGenomics Consortium consists of 430 active members in 148 laboratories from 83 institutions across 15 countries. Consortium laboratories are collectively responsible for 3.3 of all protein structures in the Protein Data Bank and have extensive records of methods development. Consortium members have carried out a pilot project on the structuralgenomics of a hyperthermophile that has identified bottlenecks in the structure determination process and resulted in the development of methodologies for high throughput structure determination and analysis. The Consortium has 5 core facilities located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory , Los Alamos National Lab , Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , University of California , Los Angeles and Texas A&M University that carry out an increasing fraction of routine tasks such as protein production, crystallization and X ray data collection.

main Mycoplasma laboratorium Synthetic genomics is a nascent field of synthetic biology that uses aspects of genetic modification on pre existing life forms with the intent of producing some product or desired behavior on the part of the life form so created. Synthetic genomics is unlike genetic modification in the sense that it does not use naturally occurring genes in its life forms. It may make use of nucleic acid analogues custom designed base pair series , though in a more expanded and presently unrealized sense synthetic genomics could utilize genetic codes that are not composed of the base pair four base pairs of DNA that are currently used by life. The development of synthetic genomics is related to certain recent technical abilities and technologies in the field of genetics. The ability to construct long base pair chains cheaply and accurately on a large scale has allowed researchers to perform experiments on genomes that do not exist in nature. Coupled with the developments in protein folding models and decreasing computational costs the field synthetic genomics is beginning to enter a productive stage of vitality. The J. Craig Venter Institute has assembled a synthetic Mycoplasma genitalium yeast genome by recombination of 25 overlapping fragments in a single step. The use of yeast recombination greatly simplifies the assembly of large DNA molecules from both synthetic and natural fragments. ref name Venter cite journal author Daniel G. Gibsona, Gwynedd A.

It can be divided into two disciplines Nutrigenomics studies the effect of nutrients on health through altering genome , proteome , metabolome and the resulting changes in physiology. Nutrigenetics studies the effect of genetic variations on the interaction between diet and health with implications to susceptible subgroups. ref name ReferenceA Public Health Nutrition , ISSN 1475 2727 electronic 1368 9800 paper ref More specifically, nutrigenomics studies how individual differences in genes influence the body s response to diet nutrition diet and nutrition . For example, people with an enzyme deficiency caused by mutations in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase cannot metabolize foods containing the amino acid phenylalanine and must modify their diets to minimize consumption . With modern genomic data, severe gene mutations with less severe effects are being explored to determine whether dietary practices can be more closely personalized to individual genetic profiles. However, there have been few validated studies for these kinds of classical gene mutation effects. ref name rawson citation last Rawson first N. title Nutrigenomics Boot Camp Improving Human Performance through Nutrigenomic Discovery location A Supply Side West VendorWorks Presentation, Las Vegas, Nevada date October 24, 2008 ref Gene Diet Disease interaction 97 of the genes known to be associated with human diseases result in monogenic diseases , i.e. a mutation in one gene is sufficient to cause the disease ....

Structural parasitology is the study of the structures of proteins for interesting Parasitism parasites . It applies the techniques of structural biology such as X ray crystallography or NMR to determine the 3 D structures of protein molecules involved in a parasitic relationship. One goal is to distinguish the workings of functional pathways in these organisms in comparison to humans. More importantly, it is hoped that structures of parasite proteins will lead to faster discovery of drugs for diseases neglected by pharmaceutical companies. This is a challenging field because parasite proteins are often more difficult to express using a heterologous system. The challenge is particularly great for proteins from eukaryotic parasites. Once expressed, many parasitic proteins are also resistant to crystallization because they contain Genetic insertion inserts which are not commonly found in human or prokaryotic proteins. Parasites of interest include Plasmodium , Trypanosoma , Leishmania , Giardia , Entamoeba , Cryptosporidium , Helminth and Toxoplasma , most of which are agents for Neglected Diseases . Many academic labs around the world study structural parasitology. Two groups in particular have contributed many parasite structures the SGPP Structural Genomnics of Pathogenic Protozoa and the SGC StructuralGenomics Consortium .
