Release 3.0
last update on 10 Dez 2009
This Internet database integrates information on sequence and structure of lipases and related proteins sharing the same a/b hydrolase fold to facilitate protein engineering. We acknowledge your comments or contribution to this page: please send us information to be included in this database.
The updated LED (release 4.0.0) is accessible at https://led.biocatnet.de/.
