Abstract

 

Physico-chemical properties of amino acids can be used to study protein sequence profiles, folding and function. We collated 242 properties for the 20 naturally occurring amino acids and created a dataset. The dataset is available as a database named APDbase (Amino acid Physico-chemical properties Database). The database can be queried using either key words describing physico-chemical properties or pre-assigned database index number. The database contains corresponding references for each property value and facilitates deposition of new property values for processing and inclusion in the database.
