Is there a well structured database of sequences of terminal oxidases? The different terminal oxidases have different oxygen affinities and I have been unable to find a specialized database of sequences associated with these enzymes. Some examples of terminal oxidases are aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase, cytochrome bd-quinol oxidase and Cytochrome cbb3 oxidases. I am particularly interested in terminal oxidases in bacteria and archaea. Thanks in advance.
Hi Salvador,
Might be a long shot, but have a look at this one http://aromadeg.siona.helmholtz-hzi.de/
It is a database specifically made to annotate PAH degradation enzymes. It is well structured and the great thing is that all protein sequences have been experimentally characterized.
Not really sure tho how much helpful would it be in particular for cytochrome oxidases.

Hi Deni,
You are right, not very useful for terminal oxidase sequences but VERY useful for aromatic hydrocarbon degradation enzymes.. a topic of much interest for me too. And yes, it is well organized and their sequences carefully annotated! so thank you very much!
Best regards.
Hi Salvador,
Yeah, I was afraid it wouldn't be that helpful with cytochrome oxidase, but glad it's helpful at least with something :)
Best,
Deni
