ArachnoServer

ArachnoServer is a manually curated database containing information on the sequence, three-dimensional structure, and biological activity of protein toxins derived from spider venom. Spiders are the largest group of venomous animals and they are predicted to contain by far the largest number of pharmacologically active peptide toxins (Escoubas et al., 2006). ArachnoServer has been custom-built so that a wide range of biological scientists, including neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and toxinologists, can readily access key data relevant to their discipline without being overwhelmed by extraneous information.

ArachnoServer乃一项经人工精心编纂的数据库，其中收录了源自蜘蛛毒液蛋白毒素的序列、三维结构和生物活性信息。蜘蛛是最大的有毒动物群体，据预测，其中所含具有药理活性的多肽毒素数量之众，远超其他动物（Escoubas 等人，2006年）。ArachnoServer数据库的设计旨在为包括神经科学家、药理学家和毒素学家在内的广泛生物科学家群体提供便捷的访问途径，使他们能够迅速获取各自领域的关键数据，而无需被冗余信息所困扰。
