The IMB Jena Image Library of Biological Macromolecules has served the scientific and educational communities since 1993. Due to a name change of the hosting Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMB) the database name was changed to Jena Library of Biological Macromolecules - JenaLib: www.fli-leibniz.de/IMAGE.html.
This name change is accompanied by the following new features:
- Redesigned atlas pages
- PDB sequence information extracted from atomic coordinates
- PDB/Uniprot alignments that clearly indicate gaps, mutations, numbering irregularities and modified residues
- Integration of data on single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs), PROSITE motifs with PDB, SCOP, GO and taxonomy information
- Platform-independent Jmol-based molecule viewer that offers integrated viewing of ligand, site, SAP, PROSITE and SCOP information both for asymmetric and biological units
- QuickSearch option that allows searching for PDB/NDB code, UniProt ID/Accession and other search terms in one input field
Offering all this information and analysis tools in one place makes JenaLib a unique resource for the dissemination of 3D structural information on biological macromolecules.
