The PIR RESID Database of Protein Post-Translational Modifications is
available through
  http://pir.georgetown.edu/pirwww/search/textresid.html
and is described at
  http://pir.georgetown.edu/pirwww/dbinfo/resid.html
The current release 17.00 contains 253 entries including 233 different
naturally occurring post-translational modifications.  The database entries
include average iostope residue weights, most-common isotope residue weights
and the weight differences from the encoded residue.

On 30 Mar 1999 Phil Dynamin <dynamin at hotmail.com> suggested the findmod
facility at Expasy.  That site lists only 26 modifications, provides program
access to only 22 modifications, and provides no descriptive, bibliographic or
structural information.
