PTM Statistics Curator: Automated Curation and Population of PTM Statistics from the Swiss-Prot Knowledgebase
The PTM Statistics Curator is an automated computational method for quantifying the number of each post-translational modification reported experimentally and non-experimentally in the Swiss-Prot Knowledgebase. Non-experimental qualifiers (Potential, Probable, By Similarity) are consistent with those defined in Swiss-Prot. This method will automatically load the new PTM IDs, curate them, and quantify and even categorize by organism this information every month as the Swiss-Prot Knowledgebase is updated. It was created with the intention of being used at-large as a continuously updated resource for use by the academic community.

frequency analysis and curation of the swiss-prot database. Sci. Rep. 1, 90; DOI:10.1038/srep00090 (2011).
NEW FEATURE
We have populated the UniProt ID numbers associated with each modification. The files byidexperimental.txt and byidnonexperimental.txt contain the UniProt ID numbers sorted by modification type so one can cross-reference to the Swiss-Prot database for further information. These files have been added to the download link above.
NEW FEATURE
We have added the ability to filter the modification statistics by whether it occurred on a prokaryote (proksexp.txt and proksnonexp.txt) or a eukaryote (euksexp.txt and euksnonexp.txt). We further specify the distribution of the modifications occurring on mammalian proteins in the files mammalexp.txt and mammalnonexp.txt. These files have been added to the download link above.
