| Abstract |
|---|
Summary:EcoProDB is a web-based database for comparative proteomics of Escherichia coli. The database contains information on E. coli proteins identified on 2-D gels along with other resources collected from various databases and published literature, with a special feature of showing the expression levels of E. coli proteins under different genetic and environmental conditions. It also provides comparative information of subcelluar localization, theoretical 2-D map, experimental 2-D map, and integrated protein information via an interactive web interface and application such as the Map Browser. Users can also upload their own 2-D gels, extract core information associated with the proteins and 2-D gel results from different experiments, and consequently generate new knowledge and hypothesis for further studies.
