iMOTdb -- a comprehensive collection of spatially interacting motifs in proteins
What you can do:
Automatically identify spatially interacting motifs among distantly related proteins sharing similar folds and possessing common ancestral lineage.
Highlights:
- iMOTdb is a database of spatially interacting motifs in single protein structures as well as those among distantly related protein structures that belong to a superfamily.
- Spatial interactions amongst conserved motifs are automatically measured using sequence similarity scores and distance calculations. Interactions between pairs of conserved motifs are described in the form of pseudoenergies.
- The current release (2006) of iMOTdb database provides information for 854,488 motifs corresponding to 60,849 protein structural domains and 22,648 protein structural entries.
Keywords:
- protein structures
- protein structure modeling
- protein folds
- protein motifs
- conserved protein motifs
- protein homology analysis
