58 Active Phage Depolymerases from Published Studies

58 active depolymerase enzymes compiled from previous research on virulent bacteriophages, based on the work of Cheetham and colleagues. The list is provided by Aleksandra Otwinowska as an Excel file under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on April 28, 2026.

Use Cases

• Cataloging known phage-derived depolymerases based on the compiled list.
• Comparing enzymatic properties across different virulent phages based on the literature compilation.
• Serving as a reference for designing experiments involving phage depolymerase activity.

Strengths

• The dataset explicitly lists 58 active depolymerases.
• It is based on a specific, cited literature source (Cheetham et al.).
• The data file is small (34.0 KB), ensuring easy download and handling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
