The MEROPS database is an information resource for peptidases (also termed proteases, proteinases and proteolytic enzymes) and the proteins that inhibit them. This collections references inhibitors.

Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in MEROPS Entry should match this regular expression:
^[SCTAGMNUI]\d{2}\.([AB]\d{2}|\d{3})$

Example Local Unique Identifiers

I31.952   Resolve
S01.001   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from MEROPS Entry should match this regular expression:
^merops\.entry:[SCTAGMNUI]\d{2}\.([AB]\d{2}|\d{3})$

Example CURIEs

merops.entry:I31.952
merops.entry:S01.001

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 7 mappings to external registries for merops.entry with 4 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE merops.entry:I31.952 is used to demonstrate the provides available for merops.entry. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here.
