TransportDB -- A Relational Database of Cellular Membrane Transport Systems
What you can do:
Predict cellular membrane transport proteins in organisms whose complete genome sequences are available.
Highlights:
- For each organism, the complete set of membrane transport systems was identified and classified into different types and families according to putative membrane topology, protein family, bioenergetics and substrate specificities.
- It allows BLAST search against known transporter protein sequences, comparison of transport systems from different organisms and phylogenetic trees of individual transporter families.
Keywords:
- membrane transport proteins
- transmembrane proteins
- membrane transport systems
- membrane channels
- transporter
- protein structures
- phylogeny
- membrane proteins
