About the NBDB
Database of sequence-structure profiles with nucleotide-containing and cofactor binding function.
More information about the terminology and database usage is provided in Help and Tutorial section.
Statistics
The database contains 249 sequence profiles of EFLs interacting with different parts of 24 nucleotide-containing ligands and relevant cofactors.
Based on the SCOP classification, representatives of EFLs are found in 74 folds, 84 superfamilies, and 195 families, respectively.
Version and History
Last updated September 20, 2015.
- Added cyclic ligands: cAMP, c-di-AMP
- Added PLP, GMP and c-GMP ligands
