ParaPep: a web resource for experimentally validated antiparasitic peptide sequences and their structures

ParaPep: Database of Experimentally Validated Antiparasitic Peptides Overview ParaPep is a manually curated database of experimentally validated antiparasitic peptides (APPs). The database provides detailed information about peptide sequences, structures, chemical modifications, biological activities, assay systems, and parasite targets.
