PMDB: Plant Metabolome Database—A Metabolomic Approach

Plant Metabolome Database (PMDB) is a database of secondary metabolites of plants in the three dimensional structures available in the biological data banks and databases. PMDB can be searched via a user-friendly interface and it integrates with JME Editor for sketching and querying metabolite structures which can be viewed in both textual and graphical format using the freely available graphics plug-in Jmol. A navigation link has been constructed which enables the users to browse the database based on metabolite name and use the help page for the detailed description about the fields in the database. This dynamically compiled database contains internal and external links to other databases (KEGG, PUBCHEM, and CAS NUMBER) to provide additional information about the metabolites. This database is intended to serve the scientific community working in the areas of molecular and structural biology and is freely available to all users, around the clock at http://www.sastra.edu/scbt/pmdb .
