Editorial team
The Peptide Sequence Database Editorial Team curates compound records for sequence accuracy, molecular mass, and chemical identity.
Editorial work focuses on cross-checking amino-acid sequences and identifiers against public registries such as PubChem and CAS Common Chemistry, and citing primary literature where available.
Standards
- Prefer registry identifiers (CAS, PubChem CID) over marketing names
- Record average molecular mass and formula as published by the cited source
- Note structural modifications and termini when they affect the sequence display
- Do not rewrite records to favor any manufacturer catalog
