HPD -- the Heme Protein Database
What you can do:
A resource of heme protein structure-function relationships.
Highlights:
- This database is the first of its kind to combine heme protein structural classifications including protein fold, heme type and heme axial ligands, with heme protein reduction potential values in a web-searchable format.
- The data illustrate that heme protein E(m) values are modulated over a 300 mV range by the type of global protein fold, a 600 mV range by the type of porphyrin and an 800 mV range by the axial ligands.
- Thus, the 1 V range observed in heme protein reduction potential values in biological systems arises from subtle combinations of these various factors.
