Databases focused on natural products and compounds¶
Please note: In addition to the resources listed here, there exist several commercial databases. If there is no possibility to freely access their data, these databases are not included in this list.
Antibioticome¶
Search chemical structure (in SMILE format) against antibioticome to determin potential target of the molecule.

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.
