PKSDB is a searchable database of modular
polyketide synthases. This database provides an interface to correlate
polyketide
chemical structures with their corresponding domains
and modules. The pictorial representation combined with PKSDB query interface
facilitates easy identification of various domains and modules from a given
polypeptide sequence. PKSDB also allows the user to extensively analyze
and retrieve the sequence homology of various polyketide synthase domains
providing guidelines for carrying out domain and module
swapping experiments. In addition it predicts the specificity of
starter and extender precursor units of each potential acyl transferase
domain.
