CATH Version 3.1

Based on PDB release: 14 Jan, 2007

We spent a great deal of effort identifying and correcting errors such as incorrectly chopped chains and misassigned domains. This meant that a number of homologous superfamilies (and folds) were merged with other nodes or removed as CATH domains were rechopped or reassigned.

Changes since v3.0:

  • 7,734 newly assigned domains
  • 47 homologous superfamilies were merged or removed
  • 26 folds (topologies) were merged or removed

The table below summarises the number of clusters within each of the four classes in CATH.
