Abstract

QSProteome ( https://QSProteome.org ) is a community-scale platform for modeling, evaluating, and refining quaternary protein structure. The resource hosts 35,528 unique modeled assemblies spanning over 42,000 genes, covering nearly all curated complexes in BioCyc and ComplexPortal databases. Each model is displayed on an interactive page with 3D visualization, chain-level confidence metrics, structural alignments, functional annotations, and automated stoichiometry checks against database expectations. A cloud-based server supports continuous user uploads and automated processing pipelines—enabling submission and validation of >54,000 models within 14 weeks. To promote iterative refinement, QSProteome includes a gamified re-curation workflow that transitions users from training modules into live curation, enabling the community-led assessment of 1,547 ABC transporter complexes. Together, these components form a dynamic, scalable infrastructure for proteome-scale structural biology. By unifying modeling, validation, and annotation in a reusable, searchable, and community-extensible framework, QSProteome enables proteome-scale structure accessibility and reuse—powering discovery, annotation, and collaborative refinement across the structural biology community.
