title: Proteopathogen, a protein database for studying Candida albicans--host interaction.
abstract: There exist, at present, public web repositories for management and storage of proteomic data and also fungi-specific databases. None of them, however, is focused to the specific research area of fungal pathogens and their interactions with the host, and contains proteomics experimental data. In this context, we present Proteopathogen, a database intended to compile proteomics experimental data and to facilitate storage and access to a range of data which spans proteomics workflows from description of the experimental approaches leading to sample preparation to MS settings and peptides supporting protein identification. Proteopathogen is currently focused on Candida albicans and its interaction with macrophages; however, data from experiments concerning different pathogenic fungi species and other mammalian cells may also be found suitable for inclusion into the database. Proteopathogen is publicly available at http://proteopathogen.dacya.ucm.es.
