Abstract

The human proteome is composed of a diverse and heterogeneous range of gene products/proteoforms/protein species. Because of the growing amount of information about proteoforms generated by different methods, we need a convenient approach to make an inventory of the data. Here, we present a database of proteoforms that is based on information obtained by separation of proteoforms using 2DE followed by shotgun ESI-LC-MS/MS. The database's principles and structure are described. The database is called "2DE-pattern" as it contains multiple isoform-centric patterns of proteoforms separated according to 2DE principles. The database can be freely used at http://2de-pattern.pnpi.nrcki.ru.

Keywords: 2DE; database; pattern; protein species; proteoforms.
