title: BioPD: a web-based information center for bioactive peptides.
abstract: Bioactive peptide database (BioPD) is a web-based knowledge base that contains more than 1100 protein sequences from human, mouse and rat, which are putative or are known to be bioactive peptides. In addition to peptide sequences and the annotation, the database also contains gene sequences with annotation, protein interaction and disease data related to the peptides. Each entry has as many references as possible to support the information represented. BioPD consists of six parts: PROTEIN, GENE, DISEASE, LINKS, INTERACTION, and REFERENCE. The database is searchable through keyword, gene and protein name, receptor name, etc. The links to PDB, InterPro, Pfam, OMIM, etc. are provided in each entry. Thus BioPD is formed as an information center for the bioactive peptide and serves as a gateway for exploration of bioactive peptides. The database can be accessed at http://biopd.bjmu.edu.cn.
