The Molecular Interactions Database (MINT) is a relational database designed to store information about protein interactions. Expert curators extract the relevant information from the scientific literature and deposit it in a computer readable form. Currently (April 2003) MINT contains information on 4300 proteins and >3000 interactions. Although MINT contains interactions among proteins for several different species, the curators have initially focused on protein interactions in mammalian species. Protocols are provided here for searching MINT over the Internet, using the MINT Viewer.
分子相互作用数据库(MINT)是一个关系型数据库,旨在存储有关蛋白质相互作用的信息。专业管理人员从科学文献中提取相关信息,并以计算机可读的形式存入数据库。目前(2003年4月),MINT包含4300种蛋白质和超过3000种相互作用的信息。尽管MINT包含了几种不同物种蛋白质之间的相互作用,但管理人员最初专注于哺乳动物物种的蛋白质相互作用。本文提供了使用MINT浏览器在互联网上搜索MINT的协议。
