Abstrakt: Verification of the PREFAB database containing golden standard protein alignments was performed. It has revealed a significant number of differences between the sequences from PREFAB and PDB databases. It was shown that, compared with the sequences given in the PDB, 575 alignments referred to a sequence with a gap; such alignments were excluded. Furthermore, compared with the PDB sequences, single substitutions or insertions were found for 440 amino acid sequences from PREFAB; these sequences were edited. SCOP domain analysis has shown that only 502 alignments in the resulting set contain sequences from the same family. Finally, eliminating duplicates, we have created a new golden standard alignment database PREFAB-P based on PREFAB; the PREFAB-P database contains 581 alignments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
