What you can do:

Find information about peroxiredoxin protein subfamily.

Highlights:

PREX is a database of currently 3516 peroxiredoxin (Prx or PRDX) protein sequences unambiguously classified into one of six distinct subfamilies.
Peroxiredoxin family members were identified using the Deacon Active Site Profiler (DASP) bioinformatics tool to focus in on functionally relevant sequence fragments surrounding key residues required for protein activity.
Searches of this database can be conducted by protein annotation, accession number, PDB ID, organism name or protein sequence.
Output includes the subfamily to which each classified Prx belongs, accession and GI numbers, genus and species and the functional site signature used for classification.
The query sequence is also presented aligned with a select group of Prxs for manual evaluation and interpretation by the user.
A synopsis of the characteristics of members of each subfamily is also provided along with pertinent references.
