KabatMan - Simple Interface to the Kabat Sequence Database
This page provides a simple point-and-click interface to the
KabatMan database. This interface only lets you create simple queries;
for more complex cases, you must
write queries directly
in the KabatMan SQL-like
query language.
Since 9th November 2000, there have been:
accesses to the Kabat data.

News...
25.09.06 LEN() function
The LEN() function can now be used with framework regions as well as CDRs.
Show/Hide old news
24.08.06 New SEQUENCE command
The SEQUENCE command works like PIR but produces a Kabat numbered
sequence rather than a PIR file.
28.02.05 Frameworks
You may now use LFR1, LFR2, LFR3, LFR4, HFR1, HFR2, HFR3, HFR4, (in
the same way as L1, L2, etc.) to extract the sequences of the 8
framework regions. These may all be used in SELECT or WHERE clauses.
03.04.02 New DATE command
You can now use DATE to extract the year of the earliest
publication.
14.10.98 Delimiters
You can now specify the delimiter used between fields in the
output. You may also select human subgroups (thanks to Sophie Deret)
as has been available from the full query interface for the last year.
18.09.97 Subgroups
There is now a new selection field: subgroup() which takes
either L or H as a parameter. This gives the subgroup of
either the light or heavy chain. It may be used in SELECT or WHERE
clauses. Note that this only works for human sequences.
29.05.96 Canonicals
There is now an option to specify which definition of canonicals
you wish to use. The default is pretty much as before (i.e. derived
from AbM definitions although additional classes have been removed as
they are now covered by the auto mode). The other two modes,
strict and auto apply strict definitions from Chothia's
papers or my own automated definition of conformation and key
residues, respectively.
03.04.96 Accessions
There are now 4 new selection fields: idlight, idheavy,
urllight and urlheavy while allow you to obtain the Kabat
accession codes for the light or heavy chain. The url versions return
hyper-links to the Kabat Web page; clicking the link will give you the
full raw-data entry from their page.
02.04.96 Accessions
You can now ask for the light chain and heavy chain Kabat
accession numbers which are returned as hyperlinks giving you access
to the full data from the Kabat Web site.
