Because the number of post-translational modifications requiring
standardized annotation in the PIR-International Protein Sequence Database
was large and steadily increasing, a database of protein structure
modifications was constructed in 1993 to assist in producing appropriate
feature annotations for covalent binding sites, modified sites and
cross-links. In 1995 RESID was publicly released as a PIR- International
text database distributed on CD-ROM and accessible through the ATLAS
program. In 1998 it was made available on the PIR Web site at
http://www-nbrf.georgetown.edu/pir/searchdb++ +.html . The RESID Database
includes such information as: systematic and frequently observed alternate
names; Chemical s Service registry numbers; atomic formulas and weights;
enzyme activities; indicators forN-terminal, C- terminal or peptide chain
cross-link modifications; keywords; and literature citations with database
cross-references. The RESID Database can be used to predict atomic masses
for peptides, and is being enhanced to provide molecular structures for
graphical presentation on the PIR Web site using widely available molecular
viewing programs.
