pKPDB | A Protein Data Bank extension database of pka and pI theoretical values

pK_a values of ionizable residues and isoelectric points of proteins provide valuable local and global insights about their structure and function. These properties can be estimated with reasonably good accuracy using Poisson-Boltzmann and Monte Carlo calculations at a considerable computational cost (from some minutes to several hours). pKPDB is a database of theoretical pK_a values and pIs calculated over protein structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank.

10M pK_a values

Calculated by using PypKa with default parameters (Ɛ = 15) on ~70% of the Protein Data Bank

120k Isoelectric Points

Determined from the theoretical titration curve accounting for the individual pka values of all titrable residues of each protein
