Welcome to Help Page
This page provides help to the users of APPdb database on how to efficiently use this repository of peptides. For each module which is implemented in APPdb, here we provide the figures and description on how to use the modules. Three general modules are provided with brief description. Kindly click on the respective modules represented in the below table.
Search Module |
Keyword Search This module displays the simple search page of APPdb. User can enter any keyword to get information from the database. User can click on "show details" of the corresponding peptide to get all the details about a entry.
|
|
|
Peptide Search This module provides facility to search a given query peptide against APPdb. It has two options containing and exact. Containing will fetch all the peptides that contain query peptide. Exact match will return only peptide entries that are exact to query peptide.
|
|
|
|
Taxonomy Search This module provides facility to search peptides through the biological classification of sources of peptides in APPdb.
|
|
|
|
Advance Search This page provides the advanced search facility in APPdb. User can browse the page by selecting two or more than two fields.
|
Complex Search is quite helpful when user has predefined query in mind. For instance, User come up with the following questions in mind and wants to SEARCH |
2. Among the above selected peptides, select those having method. |
3. Among the above selection criteria, show peptides with study model as . |
4. Among the above selected peptides, select only those having IC50 value greater than or equal to 4. |
By clicking Submit; user can get desired output. |
In a similar way, query can be extended using "+" button and reduced using "-" button. |
