-The Peptide Monomer Database is a curated, openly licensed resource for peptide and macrocycle design. 2,488 chemically standardized canonical and non-canonical monomers spanning α/β/γ/δ/ε backbones plus N- and C-terminal caps, with SMILES, InChIKeys, systematic IUPAC names, natural-analogue mapping, computed physicochemical properties (MW, cLogP, tPSA), and commercial-availability signals. Each entry carries a ProteinQure-derived HELM-style monomer shorthand.

 ## Interactive Monomer Explorer UI
 
-The Peptide Monomer Database can be interactively browsed, explored and searched via the free [Monomer Explorer](https://monomers.proteinqure.com/) hosted by [ProteinQure](https://proteinqure.com). Search the database by name, SMILES, or even a partially remembered name, and retrieve the nearest neighbours of any monomer ranked by Tanimoto similarity. The Chemical Exploration view maps the space around a selected monomer across four regions; close analogues, potential activity cliffs, putative scaffold hops, and the far edge of the space.
