r3d100012901 Antimicrobial Peptide Database APD http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/main.php FAIRsharing_doi:10.25504/FAIRsharing.ctwd7b OMICS_05706 RRID:SCR_006606 RRID:nif-0000-02553 The Antimicrobial Peptide Database (APD) was originally created by a graduate student, Zhe Wang, as his master's thesis in the laboratory of Dr. Guangshun Wang. The project was initiated in 2002 and the first version of the database was open to the public in August 2003. It contained 525 peptide entries, which can be searched in multiple ways, including APD ID, peptide name, amino acid sequence, original location, PDB ID, structure, methods for structural determination, peptide length, charge, hydrophobic content, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and hemolytic activity. Some results of this bioinformatics tool were reported in the 2004 database paper. The peptide data stored in the APD were gleaned from the literature (PubMed, PDB, Google, and Swiss-Prot) manually in over a decade. gwang@unmc.edu http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/contact.php disciplinary APD contains 3.058 antimicrobial peptides from six kingdoms (337 bacteriocins/peptide antibiotics from bacteria,5 from archaea, 8 from protists, 18 from fungi, 346 from plants, and 2.264 from animals, including some synthetic peptides) 2003 eng 2 Life Sciences 201 Basic Biological and Medical Research 20107 Bioinformatics and Theoretical Biology 204 Microbiology, Virology and Immunology 20403 Medical Microbiology, Molecular Infection Biology 20405 Immunology 21 Biology 22 Medicine http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/about.php Standard office documents dataProvider serviceProvider animal bacteria fungus host defense peptides immune system plant protozoa University of Nebraska Medical Center, Department of Pathology and Microbiology UNMC, Department of Pathology and Microbiology USA funding technical non-profit https://www.unmc.edu/pathology/ http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/contact.php open Copyrights http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/about.php open Public Domain http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/about.php restricted other unknown yes other http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/FAQ.php yes unknown Repository-Developed Metadata Schemas http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/metadata-standards/repository-developed-metadata-schemas 2018-11-16 2019-02-26
