Superfamily database
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SUPERFAMILY is a database and search platform of structural and functional annotation for all proteins and genomes.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It classifies amino acid sequences into known structural domains, especially into SCOP superfamilies.[8][9] Domains are functional, structural, and evolutionary units that form proteins. Domains of common Ancestry are grouped into superfamilies. The domains and domain superfamilies are defined and described in SCOP.[8][10] Superfamilies are groups of proteins which have structural evidence to support a common evolutionary ancestor but may not have detectable sequence homology.[11]
