gpDB -- a database of G-proteins and their interaction with GPCRs
What you can do:
Search for information on G-proteins and their interactions with GPCRs.
Highlights:
- gpDB is a publicly accessible, relational database, containing information about G-proteins, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and effectors, as well as information concerning known interactions between these molecules.
- The sequences are classified according to a hierarchy of different classes, families and subfamilies based on literature search.
- The main innovation besides the classification of G-proteins, GPCRs and effectors is the relational model of the database, describing the known coupling specificity of GPCRs to their respective alpha subunits of G-proteins, and also the specific interaction between G-proteins and their effectors.
Keywords:
