description: The MEROPS database is an information resource for peptidases (also termed
  proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them.
  These are hierarchically classified and assigned to a Family on the basis of statistically
  significant similarities in amino acid sequence. Families thought to be homologous
  are grouped together in a Clan. This collection references peptidase families.
