Resources For Finding Data

BRENDA: Enzyme Information System
Main web collection of enzyme functional data. Includes nomenclature, organism, kinetics, isolation, stability, and reaction data, literature references and links to sequence databases. Related to the print Enzyme Handbook (Springer).
Computational Molecular Biology at NIH
Contains links to tools of use to molecular biologists and others. Includes Molecular Biologist's Desk Reference, with genetic code, codon usage tables, amino acid and protein data, miscellaneous tables and references.
EMBL European Bioinformatics Institute
Databases of biological data including nucleic acid, protein sequences and macromolecular structures.
NCBI Search
Cross-database search page that includes: PubMed, OMIM, PubChem, Nucleotide, Protein, Genome, Structure, dbSNP, conserved protein domain databases, BioProject, and more.
ExPASy Proteomics Server
The ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) proteomics server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) is dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures as well as 2-D.

...which major groups of organisms have been found to contain which families and clans of peptidases.
National Center for Biotechnology Information
NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information. Includes GenBank, Entrez, Cancer Genome Database, Human Genome Database, etc.
NEBcutter V2.0
This tool will take a DNA sequence and find the large, non-overlapping open reading frames using the E.coli genetic code and the sites for all Type II and commercially available Type III restriction enzymes that cut the sequence just once...

...By default, only enzymes available from NEB are used, but other sets may be chosen.
NeuronDB
Provides a dynamically searchable database of 3 types of neuronal properties: voltage gated conductances, neurotransmitter receptors, and neurotransmitter substances. It contains tools that provide for integration of these properties in a given type...

Protein Data Bank
Worldwide repository for the processing and distribution of 3-D biological macromolecular structure data.
PubChem
PubChem provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. It is a component of NIH's Molecular Libraries Roadmap Initiative.
