PDB_TM -- selection and membrane localization of transmembrane proteins in the protein data bank
What you can do:
Search for membrane-spanning regions and other information of transmembrane proteins with known structures.
Highlights:
- PDB_TM is a database for transmembrane proteins with known structures.
- It aims to collect all transmembrane proteins that are deposited in the protein structure database (PDB) and to determine their membrane-spanning regions based on the TMDET algorithm, which uses only structural information to locate the most likely position of the lipid bilayer and to distinguish between transmembrane and globular proteins.
- By using TMDET algorithm, the PDB_TM database can be automatically updated every week, keeping it synchronized with the latest PDB updates.
- The current holding as of Jan-2005 includes 29848 structures, 465 transmembrane structures, 343 alpha helical, 92 beta barrel.
Keywords:
- transmembrane proteins
- membrane-spanning regions
- membrane transporters
- protein structures
- transmembrane protein prediction
- membrane proteins
