CAMP -- Collection of Anti-Microbial Peptides
What you can do:
Find information about antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as better substitutes to antibiotics.
Highlights:
- CAMP is a free online database that has been developed for advancement of the present understanding on antimicrobial peptides.
- It is manually curated and currently holds 3782 antimicrobial sequences.
- These sequences are divided into experimentally validated (patents and non-patents: 2766) and predicted (1016) datasets based on their reference literature.
- Information like source organism, activity (MIC values), reference literature, target and non-target organisms of AMPs are captured in the database.
- The prediction and sequence analysis tools, including BLAST, are integrated in the database.
Keywords:
- antimicrobial peptide
- antibiotic
- AMP
