Catalytic Site Atlas

Porter CT, Bartlett GJ, Thornton JM. The catalytic site atlas a resource of catalytic sites and residues identified in enzymes using structural data. Nucleic Acids Res. 2004 32 D129-133. 

The Catalytic Site Atlas (CSA) at http //www.ebi.ac.uk/thomton-srv/databases/CSA provides catalytic residue annotation for enzymes in the PDB (Porter et al, 2004). The residues are defined as catalytic if they fulfill any one of the criteria namely ... 

The number of cases where adsorption microcalorimetry has been successfully applied to this end has increased in recent years, especially in the field of determination of the acidic function of molecular sieves, and extensive reviews of the systems investigated using this methodology have been published [2,5-18]. In particular, a review has been written [19] summarizing some of the most recently pubUshed results concerning the appUcations of microcalorimetry to the study of the acid/base sites of zeoUtes and meso-porous materials. The efficiency of thermal analysis techniques for the characterization of the acid/base strength of zeoUte materials is discussed, as weU as their ability to provide information consistent with catalytic data [19]. The reader is referred to the Atlas of Zeolite Structures [20] for nomenclature used throughout the text.
