Antimicrobial Peptide Database (AMPDB)

The Antimicrobial Peptide Database (AMPDB) is an online resource that collects and organizes information about antimicrobial peptides, which are natural proteins produced by various organisms like plants, animals, and bacteria. These peptides play a crucial role in the immune system by helping to fight off infections by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. AMPDB provides data on their structure, function, and potential applications in medicine, making it a valuable tool for researchers exploring new treatments for diseases and infections. It helps advance our understanding of these peptides and their therapeutic potential.
