<<<!!!<<< This repository is no longer available. >>>!!!>>> Migration of the data, tools, and services from IRD and ViPR to BV-BRC is complete! We are now in the sunsetting phase of the transition. Starting on October 31, 2022, launching the IRD or ViPR home pages will redirect you to the new BV-BRC home page. The current plan is to completely shut down IRD and ViPR by the end of this calendar year. Although it will still be possible to use those sites until shutdown, we strongly encourage you to start using BV-BRC now.
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.
