About AagingBase

AagingBase is a database that catalogs articles published on anti-aging peptides from 2010 through 2022. AagingBase is the first comprehensive compilation of anti-aging peptides that have been verified experimentally. The experimental information is drawn from research articles and patents that have already been issued (review articles were not included). The database contains physicochemical and structural data that has been calculated from the peptides' amino acid sequence and experimental data. This will aid readers in comprehending the attributes of anti-aging peptides. This has the potential to be useful for people working on anti-aging strategies and peptide therapeutics.

Glossary

AAPeptide: Anti-aging peptide

Amino acid frequency data: Amino acid frequency data provides the occurrences of each amino acid in a peptide or protein sequence.

Amino acid composition data: Amino acid composition data provides the percentage of amino acids according to the total length of the protein or peptide.

Atomic composition: The atomic composition is the percentage of nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, carbon, and hydrogen in the peptide or protein sequence.
