Active Sequences Collection (ASC) database -- A new tool to assign functions to protein sequences
What you can do:
Search for short active protein sequences with demonstrated biological activities.
Highlights:
- The current release (Spring 2004) includes seven databases:
- AIRS is a database of Auto Immune Related Sequences (66 entries)
- BAC is a database of Bio ACtive peptides (745 entries).
- CHAMSE is a database of CHAMeleon SEquences (39 entries).
- DORRS is a Database Of RGD (Arginine-Glycine-Aspartic acid) Related Sequences which collects active linear and cyclized short peptide sequences taken from literature (129 entries).
- DVP is a database of Delivery Vector Peptides (33 entries).
- SSP is a database of Structure-Solved Peptides (330 entries).
- TRANSIT is a database of TRANsglutamination SITes which collects information from literature about protein amino acids substrates of the transglutaminase enzyme (103 entries).
- Literature references for each entry are reported, as well as cross references to other databases, when available.
