Welcome to the Reductive Dehalogenase Database
The Reductive Dehalogenase Database is a freely available electronic database containing a curated, comprehensive set of amino acid and nucleotide sequences of reductive dehalogenase enzymes and putative sequences. In 2013, Hug et al. developed an ortholog-based classification system for reductive dehalogenases by defining Ortholog Groups (OG) in order to integrate new sequences and unify terminology especially for putative reductive dehalogenases whose functions are unknown. The Reductive Dehalogenase Database is a tool to help with the analysis and facilitation of OG-classification of new reductive dehalogenases. We hope to expand analysis tools as more sequences and structures of reductive dehalogenases become publicly available.
Citing the Reductive Dehalogenase Database
The Reductive Dehalogenase Database is offered to the public as a freely available resource. Use and re-distribution of the data, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes requires explicit permission of the authors and explicit acknowledgment of the source material (Reductive Dehalogenase Database) and the original publication (see below). We ask that users who download significant portions of the database cite the following paper in any resulting publications.
