AntiJen    a kinetic, thermodynamic and cellular database v2.0 

JenPep^{1, 2} established a basic system which has now undergone major advancements. AntiJen v2.0 not only contains a wider spectrum of data but also demonstrates superior search capabilities. The expanded and updated AntiJen database currently accommodates data and look-up access for:

• MHC Ligand molecules and MHC Ligand kinetics,
• T Cell Epitope, TAP and B Cell Epitope molecules,
• Protein-Protein interactions and Protein complexes,
• Peptide Library, Diffusion Coefficient and Copy Numbers data.

Development of sophisticated search mechanics incorporates the flexibility to conduct a very detailed search or a broad search from a single interface. For example,

• the search engine can accept epitope strings containing variable amino acid positions,
• specific amino acid alternatives can be requested in any epitope string,
• an optional filter can be used to target experimental data of interest,
• delimiting windows can be used to narrow searches further by epitope length or data size.

Other novel search functionality includes:

• Quick Search, this provides instant cross-category database access;
• Keyword Search, AntiJen may be searched using keyword input alone .
