The Biomolecule Stretching Database (BSDB) contains information related to mechanical stretching of biomolecules. Currently the database is restricted to proteins. Stretching can be accomplished at constant velocity or at a constant force. In the former case, the scale of resistance to pulling is characterized by Fmax - the maximum force of resistance that is encountered on the way to full stretching.

The results obtained experimentally or based on all-atom simulations are compilations of results available in the literature. The users are encouraged to submit new entries to us.

The results obtained within a coarse-grained Go-like model require knowledge of the protein structure as available in the Protein Databank. The PDB code of the structure file is an input to the search. If the protein has not yet been studied by this method, the calculation is commenced and BSDB undergoes a self-actualization.
