Data on both single nucleotide polymorphisms and disease-related mutations are being collected at ever-increasing rates. To understand the structural effects of missense mutations, we consider both classes under the term single amino acid polymorphisms (SAAPs) and we wish to map these to protein structure where their effects can be analyzed. Our initial aim therefore is to create a completely automatically maintained database of SAAPs mapped to individual residues in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) updated as new mutations or structures become available.
