AMP Databases

​The Antimicrobial Peptide Database (APD) contains 3569 antimicrobial peptides from six life kingdoms (380 isolated/predicted bacteriocins/peptide antibiotics from bacteria, 5 from archaea, 8 from protists, 25 from fungi, 371 from plants, and 2600 from animals, including genome-predicted and some synthetic peptides)

CAMPR3 contains information on the conserved sequence signatures captured as patterns and Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) in 1386 AMPs represented by 45 families. Information related to sequence, protein definition, accession numbers, activity, source organism, target organisms, protein family descriptions and links to databases like UniProt, PubMed and other antimicrobial peptide databases are provided for the benefit of users. The database also provides tools for sequence alignment, pattern creation, pattern and HMM-based search.

DRAMP(Data repository of antimicrobial peptides) is an open-access and manually curated database harboring diverse annotations of AMPs including sequences, structures, activities, physicochemical, patent, clinical and reference information. The clinical dataset also includes information on the clinical trial phase, therapeutic applications, company and preclinical or clinical AMP literature sources.

InverPep is a specialized database of AMPs from invertebrates. The peptides registered in InverPep are experimentally validated and they were manually collected and curated from another public databases and scientific literature. At present, InverPep has 702 peptides. Each peptide has the following information: identification code, source (phylum and species), name, sequence, length, secondary structure, molar mass, charge, isoelectric point, hydrophobicity, Boman index, aliphatic index, percentage of hydrophobic amino acids, target organisms, experimental verification and external literature with its respective link.

​DBAASP provides users with information on the detailed structure (chemical, 3D) and antimicrobial activity of peptides against particular target species. The database contains information on ribosomal, non-ribosomal, and synthetic peptides that show antimicrobial activity as Monomers, Multimers, and Multi-Peptides.

An integrated system for identifying Anti-Microbial Peptides (AMPs) with their functional types based on high-throughput transcriptome and proteome data.

The defensins knowledgebase is a manually curated database and information source devoted to the defensin family of antimicrobial peptides. The current version of the database holds a comprehensive collection of 363 defensin records each containing sequence, structure and activity information. A web-based interface provides access to the information and allows for text-based searching on the data fields.
