VIPERdb （http://viperdb.scripps.edu）是一个二十面体病毒衣壳结构数据库。我们的目标是提供一个全面的资源，具体到结构病毒学社区的需求，重点是描述和比较来自衣壳结构和能量分析的衍生数据。基于大分子结构模式的关系数据库实现使用户可以高度访问数据，允许在原子级别上进行详细查询。与保持数据一致性的管理实践一起，这将促进病毒衣壳的结构生物信息学研究。网站上的用户友好搜索，可视化和教育工具允许结构和派生数据轻松而广泛地进行检查。每个条目都提供了相关文献、序列和分类数据库的链接。
VIPERdb (http://viperdb.scripps.edu) is a database for icosahedral virus capsid structures. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive resource specific to the needs of the structural virology community, with an emphasis on the description and comparison of derived data from structural and energetic analyses of capsids. A relational database implementation based on a schema for macromolecular structure makes the data highly accessible to the user, allowing detailed queries at the atomic level. Together with curation practices that maintain data uniformity, this will facilitate structural bioinformatics studies of virus capsids. User friendly search, visualization and educational tools on the website allow both structural and derived data to be examined easily and extensively. Links to relevant literature, sequence and taxonomy databases are provided for each entry.
