YADAMP is born to facilitate the access to important information on AMPs. Particular attention is given to short alpha helix peptides interacting with cell membranes. At the moment, the database contains 2525 manually annotated sequences. YADAMP permits a quick and easy search of peptides on the base of their activity (expressed as MIC against several bacterial strains) and of their structure.
The philosophy behind YADAMP is to permit extensive QSAR analysis and the creation of activity model against a particular bacterial target. You can search through the database selecting as many fields as you like. The combination is equivalent to the logic AND. Some of the fields contains calculated values (i.e. helicity or hydrophobic moments). Check the page Theory for information about the methods exploited.
