Peptide Binding Protein Database (PepBind) is a derived database of available structures of protein-peptide complexes from Protein Data Bank (PDB). These proteins are further classified as per the length of the peptide, such as dipeptide binding proteins, tripeptide binding proteins, etc. Peptides can be defined as follows:

 

According to MeSH (National Library of Medicine - Medical Subject Headings) description of Peptides:

"Members of the class of compounds composed of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. Oligopeptides are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. Proteins are linear polypeptides that are normally synthesized on ribosomes."

Tripeptide (3 aa)185
Tetrapeptide (4 aa)191
Pentapeptide (5 aa)211
Hexapeptide (6 aa)141
Heptapeptide (7 aa)175
Octapeptide (8 aa)181
Nonapeptide (9 aa)333
Decapeptide (10 aa)246
Undecapeptide (11 aa)247
Dodecapeptide (12 aa)160

PepBind database contains 3100  protein structures and is updating weekly on every wednesday. It contains protein information, Sequence information, Experimental data, Pocket informations, Ligand information, Ramachandran Plot, Jmol viewer for viewing the protein structure, Primary Citation about the protein structure, etc. It also has many interactive search tools which can search the database as per the query of the user. The search tool contains five different types of search options which simplifies the searching of the database. Links are given for several terms on every page which will search that specific term in the database and give relevant results. Many external links are also provided to other related databases.

This database is created and maintained on LAMP server.
