Why is it important?
The database may be important in determining the relation between function and topology of protein. On the other hand, the server may be utilized in designing of new, topologically stabilized structures.
Perspectives
This is a unique application of topology (knot theory) to the proteins, allowing for distinguishing over 11.000 topologically different structures.
