SKPDB

A structural database of shikimate pathway enzymes.
SKPDB is a relational database of protein structures predicted by comparative modeling. We focused our study in enzymes of the shikimate pathway identified in all genome of microorganisms. The main goal of the present database is to provide structural models to be used in docking simulations and drug design. The SKPDB user interface provides user friendly menus, so that all information can be printed in one step from any standrard web browser. All structure files are available for downloading. The database is organized to allow identification of the metabolic pathway and include other information about the modeled protein such as, sequence, animated gif for the structure, stereochemical quality and details about the modeling procedure.
