The EMOTIF database
What you can do:
Search for highly conserved and specific protein sequence motifs.
Highlights:
- The EMOTIF database is a collection of more than 170 000 highly specific and sensitive protein sequence motifs representing conserved biochemical properties and biological functions.
- These protein motifs are derived from 7697 sequence alignments in the BLOCKS+ database (released on June 23, 2000) and all 8244 protein sequence alignments in the PRINTS database (version 27.0)
- Search algorithms employing the EMOTIF patterns can identify and classify more widely divergent sequences than methods based on global sequence similarity.
Keywords:
- protein motifs
- protein blocks
- conserved protein sequences
- protein motif data warehouse
