Thought that some of you may find this interesting:

In the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, there's a MediaWiki-based project called Proteopedia: http://proteopedia.org/ .

It is a Wikipedia-inspired database of proteins and other molecules. The project is supervised by professors from the institute, so the data is supposed to be reliable. Most of the data is CC-BY-SA / GFDL, so it can be reused in Wikipedia (there are some exceptions; see Terms of Service at the bottom of the page).

Note that the images of the molecules are animated; you can click them and then move them to see them at different angles and zoom in and out using the mouse wheel. Also, try clicking the green links under the images - it shows you different views of the molecule (i'm a linguist, so i don't know what it actually means, but if you're into Biology or Chemistry, you'll probably understand). This is done using Jmol, an LGPL-licensed Java applet, so maybe it can be used in Wikipedia in the future.
