Pfam is a large collection of protein multiple sequence alignments and profile hidden Markov models. Pfam is available on the World Wide Web in the UK at http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/, in Sweden at http://www.cgb.ki.se/Pfam/, in France at http://pfam.jouy.inra.fr/ and in the US at http://pfam.wustl.edu/. The latest version (6.6) of Pfam contains 3071 families, which match 69% of proteins in SWISS-PROT 39 and TrEMBL 14. Structural data, where available, have been utilised to ensure that Pfam families correspond with structural domains, and to improve domain-based annotation. Predictions of non-domain regions are now also included. In addition to secondary structure, Pfam multiple sequence alignments now contain active site residue mark-up. New search tools, including taxonomy search and domain query, greatly add to the functionality and usability of the Pfam resource.
Pfam是蛋白质多序列比对和轮廓隐马尔可夫模型的一个大型集合。Pfam在英国可通过万维网访问,网址为http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Software/Pfam/;在瑞典为http://www.cgb.ki.se/Pfam/;在法国为http://pfam.jouy.inra.fr/;在美国为http://pfam.wustl.edu/。Pfam的最新版本(6.6)包含3071个家族,与SWISS-PROT 39和TrEMBL 14中69%的蛋白质相匹配。已利用现有的结构数据来确保Pfam家族与结构域相对应,并改进基于结构域的注释。现在还包括对非结构域区域的预测。除二级结构外,Pfam多序列比对现在还包含活性位点残基标记。新的搜索工具,包括分类学搜索和结构域查询,极大地增强了Pfam资源的功能和可用性。
