4. MEROPS database on World Wide Web URL: http://www.merops.co.ukA useful protease (peptidase) resource that groups proteases into sequence-related families and evolutionarily related families into a smaller number of clans. These clans may include families with diverse cellular locations and functions. For example, clan CD includes the asparaginyl-endopeptidase/legumain family, the caspases, the protease separin (responsible for triggering chromosome separation in anaphase) and the bacterial proteases, gingipain and clostripain.
