Structural Proteome Database (SPD), an Integrated Protein Information System


With the development of high-throughput techniques for analyzing mRNAs and proteins, such as chip technology, mass spectrometry, and structural genomics, biologists have an increasing need to access all types of information about large numbers of proteins. SPD is an information system to search, sort, compare, and integrate protein information on a large scale. It provides an interface between biologists and various databases of protein information, letting scientists focus on the information that interests them instead of having to know where to find the information and how to use many different databases. The system is designed to collect and update the information for the scientist automatically and present it in an analyzable form.
