CAMPS

Welcome to CAMPS2.0

The CAMPS (Computational Analysis of the Membrane Protein Space) database is a resource for the automatic classification of α-helical membrane proteins with at least three transmembrane helices. Together with the classification CAMPS provides numerous links to other databases and membrane protein resources.

This web interface represents the second version of the CAMPS database. The first release can be found here.

CAMPS in a nutshell:

• CAMPS is an automatic approach to the structural classification of α-helical membrane proteins.

• It is based on sequence clustering and secondary structure prediction.

• CAMPS approaches three clustering levels: fold, function and modeling distance

Statistics:

• Number of sequences: 413,714

• Number of genomes: 1253 (Archaea: 57, Bacteria: 792, Eukarya: 134, Viruses: 270)

• Number of SC-clusters (fold level): 1353

• Number of FH-clusters (function level): 1319

• Number of MD-clusters (modeling distance level): 7047

CAMPS is what you need, if ...

• ...you want a rough organization of the membrane sequence space

• ...you are searching for membrane protein candidates for protein target selection

• ...you are studying membrane protein evolution

• ...you are working on structure-function relationships in membrane proteins
