Databases of proteins sequences and structures
ENTREZ
http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez
Contains databases of amino-acid sequences and protein structures, and information-retrieval
tools. ENTREZ is perhaps the richest project in its ability to search across multiple databases.
UniProt
www.uniprot.org/
A comprehensive database of protein sequence and function.
Expert Protein Analysis Server (ExPASy)
www.expasy.org
Many sites collect links to tools for analysis of protein structure. Of these ExPASy is probably the most comprehensive.
The World-Wide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB)
www.wwpdb.org
Archives and distributes structural information on biological macromolecules. Tools for retrieval of structures appear at the sites of members of the wwPDB:
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics
www.rcsb.orgThe Protein Data Bank Europe (or the Macromolecular Structure Database)
www.ebi.ac.uk/msd (including OCA: www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/oca/oca-bin/ocamain)The Protein Data Bank Japan
www.pdbj.orgThe Biological Magenetic Resonance Data Bank (BioMagResBank)
www.bmrb.wisc.edu/
