Mass production of protein structure is the natural successor to mass production of DNA sequence. Automation and robotics will help to solve protein structures at a rate considered impossible in years past [Reference: "The Next Wave of the Genomic Business" by Ken Garber (2000), Technology Review 103 (4), 47 - 56].
