Project 5. The Plant Proteomics Database (PPDB)
The Plant Proteomics Database is a Plant Proteome DataBase for Arabidopsis thaliana and maize (Zea mays). Initially PPDB was dedicated to plant plastids, but has now expanded to the whole plant proteome – hence it was renamed from Plastid PDB to Plant PDB in November 2007. Multiple search methods are provided so that the user can retrieve information based on gene
identification number, functional annotation or various protein properties. Active links to other databases (e.g.
TAIR and
TIGR) are present.
