Structural genomics and structural bioinformatics are definitely two distinct things.

  • structural bioinformatics is a subfield of bioinformatics which concerns the same data as structural biology, i.e. 3D structure of macromolecules of biological importance
  • structural genomics is an effort of covering the structure space of proteins. A good definition is given there by Steven Brenner: [1]

I think we need to kill the redirect from structural bioinformatics to structural genomics and give a proper definition of structural genomics. --Martin.jambon 19:37, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
