Ribosomal protein database of Citrobacter freundii

This work presents the ribosomal protein database of Citrobacter freundii. Original data for the work came from the annotated proteome data of the bacterium downloaded from UniProt. Using an in-house MATLAB ribosomal protein database analysis software, the original proteome data file was parsed to extract protein name and amino acid sequence of all ribosomal proteins in the species. The database also includes calculated variables such as number of residues, molecular weight, and nucleotide sequence. Overall, the presented database could serve as a ribosomal protein mass fingerprint for use in microbial identification, or it could be used in fundamental studies seeking to uncover new insights into ribosomal protein biology.
