merops.family: alias: description: The MEROPS database is an information resource for peptidases (also termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them. These are hierarchically classified and assigned to a Family on the basis of statistically significant similarities in amino acid sequence. Families thought to be homologous are grouped together in a Clan. This collection references peptidase families. forward: http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/famsum?family=${ac} institution: Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton location: UK more: http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/index.htm name: Merops Family at Sanger Institute pattern: ^[SCTAGMNU]\d+$ prefixed: false primary: false probe: http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/famsum?family=S1 provider: provider_id: MIR:00100384 redirect: http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/famsum?family=$id sort_score: 2 state: 67:Down subject: interaction; enzyme; protein synonym: Coli Genetic Stock Center test: S1 type: scheme
