BacterialLectinDb: An integrated bacterial lectin database
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED Studies of various diversified bacterial lectins/ lectin data may serve as a tool with enormous promise to help biotechnologists/ geneticists in their innovative technology to explore a deeper understanding in proteomics/ genomics research for finding the molecular basis of infectious diseases and also to new approaches for their prevention and in development of new bacterial vaccines. Hence we developed a bacterial lectin database named 'BacterialLectinDb'. An organized database schema for BacterialLectinDb was designed to collate all the available information about all bacterial lectins as a central repository. The database was designed using HTML, XML. AVAILABILITY The database is available for free at http://www.research-bioinformatics.in.

متن کاملSugarBindDB, a resource of glycan-mediated host–pathogen interactions
The SugarBind Database (SugarBindDB) covers knowledge of glycan binding of human pathogen lectins and adhesins. It is a curated database; each glycan-protein binding pair is associated with at least one published reference. The core data element of SugarBindDB is a set of three inseparable components: the pathogenic agent, a lectin/adhesin and a glycan ligand. Each entity (agent, lectin or liga...
متن کاملAn Alkaline Phosphatase Lacking Wheat Germ Agglutinin Binding Sites Useful Enzyme for Lectin Assays with Comparable Activity to the Calf Enzyme
Despite the availability of various alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes, the calf enzyme is being used in current enzyme assays as the detector enzyme. The glycosylation pattern of this enzyme makes it a suitable ligand for binding to wheat germ agglutinin lectin (WGA). As a result of this property, the enzyme can not be used as a conjugate with this lectin, and the calf enzyme conjugates can...
