ProLysED: an integrated database and meta-server of bacterial protease systems.
Bacterial proteases are an important group of enzymes that have very diverse biochemical and cellular functions. Proteases from prokaryotic sources also have a wide range of uses, either in medicine as pathogenic factors or in industry and therapeutics. ProLysED (Prokaryotic Lysis Enzymes Database), our meta-server integrated database of bacterial proteases, is a useful, albeit very niche, resource. The features include protease classification browsing and searching, organism-specific protease browsing, molecular information and visualisation of protease structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) as well as predicted protease structures.


BACKGROUND
ProLysED is integrated into the ProLysES (Prokaryotic Lysis Enzymes Site) website at http://genome.ukm.my/prolyses/. Access to the ProLysED database is free for academic users upon registration.
