The Protein Protein interaction plays a central role in biology. Studies about protein functional sites include discovery, prediction, interfaces with ligands and conformational switches. Realizing the mechanism, drug design, engineering protein mimetic, and elucidating molecular pathways through site-directed mutagenesis could be done effectively. In the post genomeics, annotating the protein functional site effectively from massive protein information has become the most important subject. By the recent maturation of development of biotechnology and vast amount of protein structures and sequence data, some specific and function-oriented database has been setup, such as protein structure, sequence, family and classification under the fast development about structure bioinformatics. However, those vast data were stored in different databases that biologists might spent much time on processing and they need to integrate different databases for getting large scale bioinformation computing. Therefore, we opposed to integrate the protein related information for providing biologists the fast and automatic processing procedure to meet the best synergy. The application of evolutionary trace method had well performance in predicting many active sites. The theory was based on the hypothesis. In the protein family, via evolution, the residue mutation rate of protein structure active site is much lower than others. Using this strategy to predict protein functional region reasonably, protein sequences could take a multiple sequence alignment, and the conserved region mapping to the structure had more opportunity becoming active site. This article integrated protein structures, sequences, classification, protein families and some relative resources. We used database system to summarize the relation of each data source, develop the network interface for further search, and serve it as the data source of prediction about protein active sites. The automatic calculation analysis system pipeline by evolutionary trace method for getting protein functional and structural conserved regions had been built and the network searching interface and value add database system for fitting the demand of protein structure research in structure bioinformatics had been developed.
