Hello,
Proteopedia is cited in http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0007675

The article lists other efforts to publish 3d biology, the abstract:

The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is a not-for-profit, public- 
private partnership established to deliver novel structural biology  
knowledge on proteins of medical relevance and place this information  
into the public domain without restriction, spearheading the concept  
of “Open-Source Science” to enable drug discovery. The SGC is a major  
provider of structural information focussed on proteins related to  
human health, contributing 20.5% of novel structures released by the  
PDB in 2008. In this article we describe the PLoS ONE Collection  
entitled ‘Structural Biology and Human Health: Medically Relevant  
Proteins from the SGC’. This Collection contains a series of articles  
documenting many of the novel protein structures determined by the SGC  
and work to further characterise their function. Each article in this  
Collection can be read in an enhanced version where we have integrated  
our interactive and intuitive 3D visualisation platform, known as  
iSee. This publishing platform enables the communication of complex  
structural biology and related data to a wide audience of non- 
structural biologists. With the use of iSee as the first example of an  
interactive and intuitive 3D document publication method as part of  
PLoS ONE, we are pushing the boundaries of structural biology data  
delivery and peer-review. Our strong desire is that this step forward  
will encourage others to consider the need for publication of three  
dimensional and associated data in a similar manner.
