About AMPed

Powerful Search

The AMPed user interface can be easily accessed through desktop, laptop or smartphone devices via a web browser. An individual student can use it for their reference, or a professor can use it for advanced research and data storage.

Highly Secure

AMPed runs under a secure domain. Both users' information and database content are encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and cannot be intercepted while traveling across the network.

Extensive Dataset

The idea behind "AMPed" (Anti-Microbial Peptide Editable Database) is to create an annotated collection of antimicrobial peptides that are sourced from several online repositories, journals and existing large databases such as ATCC, PDB, UniProt and NCBI with the purpose of uniformity and coherence.

Open Source

The database is developed using MySQL, an open source database and Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). AMPed now has a simple and secure web interface that researchers can use to find and download sequences relevant to their research while easily maintaining links to the original data source.
