EcoProDB: the Escherichia coli protein database.

UNLABELLED: EcoProDB is a web-based database for comparative proteomics of Escherichia coli. The database contains information on E. coli proteins identified on 2D 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 subcellular localization, theoretical 2D map, experimental 2D map and integrated protein information via an interactive web interface and application such as the Map Browser. Users can also upload their own 2D gels, extract core information associated with the proteins and 2D gel results from different experiments and consequently generate new knowledge and hypotheses for further studies. AVAILABILITY: EcoProDB database system is accessible at http://eecoli.kaist.ac.kr.
