Antimicrobial Peptide Database

The Antimicrobial Peptide Database (APD) contains ~2700 antimicrobial peptides and (small proteins <200 aa) from prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The searchable hand-curated database contains information on the peptide sequences, post-translational modifications, nomenclature, properties, targets, links to peptide sequence records / 3D structures (PDB), when available. In addition to the database, the APD web-page also provides a tools section with links to software and web-pages useful for antimicrobial peptide research.
