InBase: the Intein Database

Nucleic Acids Res. 2002 Jan 1;30(1):383-4. doi: 10.1093/nar/30.1.383.

Abstract

Inteins are self-catalytic protein splicing elements. InBase (http://www.neb.com/neb/inteins.html), the Intein Database and Registry, is a curated compilation of published and unpublished information about protein splicing. It presents general information as well as detailed data for each intein, including tabulated comparisons and a comprehensive bibliography. An intein-specific BLAST server is now available to assist in identifying new inteins.
