Construction of Amyloid PDB Files Database

Abstract

Amyloids are insoluble proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in many diseases. They are largely examined structurally, but there is a lack of a unique structural database for amyloid proteins resolved with atomic resolution. We present a constructed amyloid database made on keyword criterion as well as structural features of amyloids described in literature. The searching filter performed by python programming, gave the total number of 109 structures. This database can help further structural general and statistical analysis of amyloids, that can lead to understanding of disease mechanisms related to amyloid proteins.
