Ribosomal protein database of Pyrococcus horikoshii strain ATCC 700860

This work presents the ribosomal
protein database of Pyrococcus horikoshii (strain ATCC 700860). 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.
