Introduction
This gives an introduction to lipases.
Sources Lipases can be classified as Mammalian, Bacterial, Fungal etc. based on the source from which they are isolated. This gives a table of triacylglycerol lipases based on this classification.
PDBSum This page has links to PDBSum for all the 42 triacylglycerol lipases . They are tabulated according to their PDB (Protein Data bank) ID. PDBSum is a database which has derived data for entries from the PDB (Protein data Bank).The summary information gives an at-a-glance overview of the contents of each PDB entry in terms of numbers of protein chains,ligands, metal ions, etc. The derived data include PROMOTIF analyses, summary PROCHECK statistics, links to CATH,SCOP and other databases and much more.
PDB Data Protein Data Bank is a public database which is an international repository for three dimensional data related to protein macromolecules. Data obtained from this database like Sequence, Secondary Structure and Crystallography data has been compiled. This is tabulated according to PDB ID.
Abstracts This has a compilation of articles retrieved from PubMed. Articles are classified according to topics like Stereospecificty, Structure, Purification, Protein / Genetic Engineering and Immobilization Techniques. In addition it also has a few abstracts compiled from books and links to Robert Verger's publications.
Useful Links This has some links to useful sites for Protein , Genetic and Enzyme databases.
Applications Lipases have applications in many industries like Pharmaceutical, Detergent, Oleochemical, Dairy, Cosmetic and others. This summarizes the uses of lipases in various industries.
Image Gallery A picture gallery for all the 42 lipases. Clicking on any one of the images gives you a bigger image with additional details like Method used for obtaining the 3D structure like X-ray diffraction or NMR, Resolution , Enzyme Commission Number (E.C No) , Chains in the protein molecule if any, Molecule name and the Protein Data Bank ID .
Sequences Details of Triacylglycerol lipases and Phospholipases are given here. There are 73 entries for triacylglycerol lipases and their precursors and 109 entries for Phospholipases. On clicking an entry for triacylglycerol lipase it takes you to a page where details like Organism (Source of the enzyme), Citation , Journal , Title , Authors , PIR accession , EMBL ID,NCBI : nid, NCBI : pid , Sequence in the FASTA format is given.
PIR(Protein Information Resource) is a database for Proteins , EMBL is European Molecular Biology Lab, NCBI is National Centre For BioTechnology Infomation NLM U.S.A . Where possible, links to these sites have also been given with the appropriate ID for the entry. NCBI nid field refers to Nucleotide database ID, and NCBI pid refers to Protein Database ID .
A Phospholipase entry has been limited to three fields Organism, PIR accession and Sequence in FASTA format.
Genecards This page has links to Genecards database. GeneCards is a database of human genes, their products and their involvement in diseases. It offers concise information about the functions of all human genes that have an approved symbol, as well as selected others . There are about 31 lipase related gene cards.
