Bioinformatics Database

PotatoPepDB

A curated database and analysis platform for antimicrobial peptides from Solanum tuberosum.

Search interface with field-level filters

PotatoPepDB is a bioinformatics platform for discovering, modeling, and analyzing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from potato. It combines a searchable peptide repository with physicochemical analysis tools, a BLAST-style alignment engine, and interactive data visualization.

Built for plant-biotech researchers working on bio-pesticides and disease-resistant crops, it makes natural plant-defense molecules easy to explore — no login required.

Features

Simple & Advanced Search

Search by name, sequence, accession, tissue, activity, or molecular properties with logical filters.

Physicochemical Calculator

Real-time MW, pI, net charge, GRAVY, Boman index, hydrophobic ratio, and instability index.

BLAST-Style Alignment

Smith-Waterman local alignment against the database with E-value and identity scores.

Statistics Dashboard

Interactive pie, bar, and scatter charts for tissue, activity, and charge-hydrophobicity analysis.

3D Structure Viewer

NGL.js molecular visualization with PDB structures and RCSB integration.

Multi-Format Export

Download peptide data and structures as JSON, CSV, FASTA, or PDB.

FASTA Bulk Import

Admin batch import of peptides from FASTA files.

Curated Reference Data

Reference potato peptides (Snakin-1/2, defensins, Kunitz inhibitors) ready to explore.

Open Access

Fully public database — no paywall, no login for browsing or analysis.

Key advantages

Niche, high-value focus

Purpose-built for potato AMP research, not a generic protein lookup.

Analysis built-in

Calculator, BLAST, and 3D viewer in one place — no external tools needed.

Researcher-friendly UX

Modern, responsive interface with live visualizations for bench scientists.

Scientifically grounded

Led by plant-biotech researchers; standard bioinformatics metrics and algorithms.
