Popis: In the eucaryotic cell, the formation of disulfide bonds takes place in general inside the endoplasmic reticulum which provides a unique folding environment. The DisulfideDB database gathers information about this biological process with structural, evolutionary and neighborhood information on cysteines in proteins. Mining this information with an association rule discovery program permits to extract some strong rules for the prediction of the disulfide-bonding state of cysteines. Supplementary information: The web supplement to this paper, including the UML diagram of the database and some procedures used with the association rule discovery tool, may be found at http://www.nantes.inra.fr/centre/unites-recherche/urpvi/bioinformatique/publi.html.
