SAPdb: A database of short peptides and the corresponding nanostructures formed by self-assembly

SAPdb: A Database of Short Peptides and Self-Assembled Nanostructures Welcome to the official repository and documentation overview for SAPdb, the first dedicated repository of short peptides (dipeptides and tripeptides) that undergo self-assembly to form well-defined ordered nanostructures. This resource is designed to help researchers in nanobiotechnology understand the mechanisms and experimental conditions governing the formation of peptide-based nanomaterials.

SAPdb: A database of short peptides and the corresponding nanostructures formed by self-assembly. Computers in Biology and Medicine, 133, 104391. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compbiomed.2021.104391 About the Database SAPdb was developed to provide a systematic collection of experimental data for the burgeoning field of peptide nanobiotechnology. Short peptides, specifically di- and tripeptides, are ideal building blocks for nanomaterials due to their low toxicity, cost-efficiency, and ease of synthesis. SAPdb consolidates scattered literature into a single platform to facilitate the rational design of diverse nanostructures. The database integrates data from: Primary Literature: 1,049 entries manually curated from 301 research articles. Experimental Data: Focused on validated nanostructures including nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, and hydrogels.
