| Research Abstract |
Some of the transition metal ions such as iron, copper and zinc are known to be essential for life. Most of these transition metal ions in biological systems are functioning as complexes with specific metal binding proteins. The emergence of the terms such as metallome and metallomics, is indicating the increasing interest toward these metal binding proteins. Under such a circumstance, where a useful public bioinformatics resource for metal binding proteins is being desired, we have developed a new database system called MetalMine, which includes structural information of metal binding sites in an organized fashon. MetalMine is the largest database concerning metal binding proteins, in terms of the number of metal binding sites included, and it would serve as a quite useful resource for the functional analysis of proteins.
