Overview: COMe (Co-Ordination of Metals) represents the ontology for bioinorganic and other small molecule centers in complex proteins. COMe consists of three types of entities: 'bioinorganic motif' (BIM), 'molecule' (MOL), and 'complex proteins' (PRX), with each entity being assigned a unique identifier. A BIM consists of at least one centre (metal atom, inorganic cluster, organic molecule) and two or more endogenous and/or exogenous ligands. BIMs are represented as one-dimensional (1-D) strings and 2-D diagrams. The complex proteins in COMe are subdivided into three categories: metalloproteinase, organic prosthetic group proteins and modified amino acid proteins.
