About

PeptidesDB is a citation-native reference for research peptides. Each compound is a plate: mechanism, dosage, evidence, side effects, administration, and stack synergy — every claim-bearing value linked to a paper, or explicitly marked uncited so the gap is visible.

The peptide literature is scattered across PubMed, journals, vendor blogs, and forum threads. Existing references are text-only, closed-source, and not built for comparison. This one stores each peptide as a YAML file in a public repository, renders it as a print-quality monograph, and lets you compare any two or three side by side.

PeptidesDB is built and funded by the founder of CertaPeptides, a research-peptide seller. We do not hide that — we disclose it in full, describe the editorial firewall, and hand you the tools to verify the atlas including its own products. It is currently the work of one maintainer with named outside reviewers being recruited; the code and content are MIT-licensed and every edit is a public pull request. Contributions are genuinely welcome, and any that arrive are upside, not a claim we make on the marketing.

The build fails on a schema violation, a citation that points at a reference that does not exist, or a slug that does not match its file. A separate audit checks every PubMed ID against the live database and flags the “real ID, wrong paper” mismatch. The methodology documents the full checking pipeline; the corrections log records every fix.
