HydDB provides access to an accurate classifier for hydrogenase sequences and a curated database of hydrogenases by known type. The service is provided by the School of Biological Sciences, Monash University and the Bioinformatics Research Centre, Aarhus University.
To use the classifier to predict the type of one or more hydrogenases from sequence, either:
Press the "Submit" button to upload the sequences and begin the classification.
If you provided an e-mail address you will receive an e-mail when your job finishes or fails including a link to the results. You will also be able to download the results as a CSV file.
Only sequences encoding the catalytic subunits of hydrogenases will be classified, i.e. those binding the [NiFe]-centre (NiFe-hydrogenases), [FeFe]-centre (FeFe-hydrogenases), or [Fe]-centre (Fe-hydrogenases). Electron-transfer subunits, accessory proteins, and maturation factors cannot be classified by this service.
A job can at most run for 2 hours and atmost 4000 sequences can be submitted. This should be enough for about 2500 sequences to be classified. Results will be stored for 2 weeks. However, we recommend to download the results as they may be deleted due to the rare event of a power outage or server crash.
