Abstract
The Piperpep database is a compilation of peptide data from mass spectrometry analysis of a medicinally important export oriented crop - black pepper, developed by the fact that any mass spectrometry derived data would be an excellent source for genome annotation in future. This database has 1001 peptides, including 36 antimicrobial peptides annotated from the leaf of black pepper. The user friendly browsing and search tools would help the researcher with crop improvement in black pepper and also in other crops via peptide or protein data. The information on antimicrobial peptides in this database is expected to cater towards development of new drugs for agricultural and medicinal uses.
