β-Lactamase enzymes have attracted substential medical attention from researchers and clinicians because of their clinical, ecological, and evolutionary interest. Here, we present a comprehensive online database of β-lactamase enzymes. The current database is manually curated and incorporates the primary amino acid sequences, closest structural information in an external structure database (the Protein Data Bank [PDB]) and the functional profiles and phylogenetic trees of the four molecular classes (A, B, C, and D) of β-lactamases.
