I have seen Evgeni Selkov's EMP database around on the WWW, at
Argonne National Laboratory (thanks to Terry Gaasterland for the URL)
at http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/compbio/default.html where you can find
PUMA (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/compbio/PUMA/Production/puma.html) and
EMP (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/compbio/emp/emp.html)
