PDZBase: a protein-protein interaction database for PDZ-domains

Bioinformatics. 2005 Mar;21(6):827-8. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti098. Epub 2004 Oct 28.

Abstract

PDZBase is a database that aims to contain all known PDZ-domain-mediated protein-protein interactions. Currently, PDZBase contains approximately 300 such interactions, which have been manually extracted from > 200 articles. The database can be queried through both sequence motif and keyword-based searches, and the sequences of interacting proteins can be visually inspected through alignments (for the comparison of several interactions), or as residue-based diagrams including schematic secondary structure information (for individual complexes).
