On Mon, 18 Jan 1999, l.r.cooper asked:
i'm looking for a database, though even a table would suffice, of modified
amino acids. any suggestions?
The RESID Database of amino acid residues annotated as features in the Protein
Sequence Database has been distributed with the PIR-International Protein
Sequences Databases on CD-ROM for several years. In September 1998, thanks
to the support of the National Science Foundation, the RESID Database was
made available on the Web through
http://www-nbrf.georgetown.edu/pirwww/search/textresid.html
with a description available at
http://www-nbrf.georgetown.edu/pirwww/dbinfo/resid.html
The current release 16.00 has 253 entries. The database includes naturally
occurring post-translation modifications, along with the 22 different encoded
residues, that have been identified in sequences. A number of other residues
found in the old CRC list had been detected in hydolysates but have never
been identified in sequences.
