Material Detail
TransportDB
TransportDB is a relational database describing the predicted cytoplasmic membrane transport protein complement for organisms whose complete genome sequence are available. One can also compare the transporter system from different organisms or perform a blast search of a protein sequence against the transporter database.

general remarks: This work, by Dr. Qinghu Ren from The Institute for
Genomic Research, includes the identification and characterization all existing
membrane transporters in those microorganisms and eukaryotic species for which
extensive genome sequence data are available. For each organism, the complete
set of membrane transport systems was identified and classified into different
types and families according to putative membrane topology, protein family,
bioenergetics, and substrate specificities. This is the only database devoted to
the identification and classification of all transporter homologues in complete
genomes, as well as providing comparative and phylogenetic tools for analyzing
data. I definitely recommend to the research and academic community as well as
college and graduate student as an excellent learning and reference material.

technical remarks: Dr. Qinghu Ren?s marvelous work requires strong
background in both molecular biology and computer science. TransportDB is a
relational database which will be regularly updated with data obtained from
newly sequenced genomes. User-friendly web pages provide interfaces to easily
access, query, and download the data. Additional features, such as a BLAST
search tool against known transporter protein sequences, comparison of transport
systems from different organisms, and phylogenetic trees of individual
transporter families are also provided.
