Database of Large Proteins

I stumbled upon a database (one of several on the Web, it turns out) of large proteins at http://www.kazusa.or.jp/huge/. "Large," in this case, means greater than about 50 kDa in size.

Although these proteins are interesting choices of study in their own right, to me they have extra significance in that they are all too large to fit inside a GroEL cage.
