The Center for Eukaryotic Structural Genomics (CESG) is a specialized research center supported by the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

PSI is a federal, university, and industry effort aimed at dramatically reducing the costs and lessening the time it takes to determine a three-dimensional protein structure. The long-range goal of PSI is to solve 10,000 protein structures in 10 years and to make the three-dimensional atomic-level structures of most proteins easily obtainable from knowledge of their corresponding DNA sequences.

CESG is located within the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Madison, WI) and the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, WI). CESG develops new methods and technologies to address unique eukaryotic bottlenecks and disseminates its methodologies and experimental results to the scientific community worldwide through:

We have welcomed requests by researchers to solve eukaryotic protein structures, particularly medically relevant proteins, through our Online Structure Request System for Researchers. We have solved many community-nominated targets and deposited information about these targets in public databases and published on our investigations and findings.

All of CESG's experimental results and corresponding protocols are deposited into the following online databases:

| BMRB | PepcDB | PDB | Sesame | TargetDB |
