BEKIS is an online database, which provides ready access to information about national and international institutions and activities in the area of bioethics research. Users can find information about: research institutions, research groups, research projects and events. [Information of the supplier]
The observatory is a system of databases with worldwide coverage in bioethics and other areas of applied ethics in science and technology such as environmental ethics, science ethics, and technology ethics. [Information of the supplier]
ModBase is a database of comparative protein structure models, calculated by our modeling pipeline ModPipe. ModBase contains theoretically calculated models, not experimentally determined structures. The models may contain significant errors. [Information of the supplier, modified]
This website provides a current list of membrane protein structures determined by x-ray and electron diffraction with links to the Protein Data Bank and other useful sites. Although this database emphasizes structures determined by diffraction methods, some NMR structures are included as well. [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Jena Library of Biological Macromolecules (JenaLib) is aimed at a better dissemination of information on three-dimensional biopolymer structures with an emphasis on visualization and analysis. It provides access to all structure entries deposited at the Protein Data Bank (PDB) or at the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB). In addition, basic information on the architecture of biopolymer structures is available. The JenaLib intends to fulfill both scientific and educational needs. ... [Information of the supplier]
BioMagResBank (BMRB) is the publicly-accessible depository for NMR results from peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids recognized by the International Society of Magnetic Resonance and by the IUPAC-IUBMB-IUPAB Inter-Union Task Group on the Standardization of Data Bases of Protein and Nucleic Acid Structures Determined by NMR Spectroscopy. In addition, BMRB provides reference information and maintains a collection of NMR pulse sequences and computer software for biomolecular NMR. Access to data in BMRB is free directly from its web site (URL http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu) and ftp site (ftp.bmrb.wisc.edu) and will remain so as public funding permits. The concept of a biomolecular NMR data bank was developed under a five-year research grant awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. ...

The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (also known as EMBL-Bank) constitutes Europe's primary nucleotide sequence resource. Main sources for DNA and RNA sequences are direct submissions from individual researchers, genome sequencing projects and patent applications. The database is produced in an international collaboration with GenBank (USA) and the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ). Each of the three groups collects a portion of the total sequence data reported worldwide, and all new and updated database entries are exchanged between the groups on a daily basis. The current database release (Release 87, June 2006), with according Release notes and user manual are available from the EBI servers. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Entrez Nucleotides database is a collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, and PDB. The number of bases in these databases continues to grow at an exponential rate. As of April 2006, there are over 130 billion bases in GenBank and RefSeq alone. [Information of the supplier]
A grand challenge in the post-genomic era is a complete computer representation of the cell, the organism, and the biosphere, which will enable computational prediction of higher-level complexity of cellular processes and organism behaviors from genomic and molecular information. Towards this end we have been developing a bioinformatics resource named KEGG as part of the research projects of the Kanehisa Laboratories in the Bioinformatics Center of Kyoto University and the Human Genome Center of the University of Tokyo. (...) KEGG is a suite of databases and associated software, integrating our current knowledge on the function and utility of biological systems (PATHWAY and BRITE databases), the information about the universe of genes and proteins (GENES database), and the information about the universe of chemical compounds and reactions (LIGAND database). ...

The Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB) contains 3D macromolecular structures, including proteins and polynucleotides. MMDB contains over 28,000 structures and is linked to the rest of the NCBI databases, including sequences, bibliographic citations, taxonomic classifications, and sequence and structure neighbors.
