• TITLE: A Brief Overview of a Few Popular and Important Protein Databases

  AUTHORS: Angshuman Bagchi

  KEYWORDS: Database; SCOP; CATH; UniProt; PDB

  JOURNAL NAME: Computational Molecular Bioscience, Vol.2 No.4, December 12, 2012

  ABSTRACT: Database is a repository of information. In today’s world there are different types of databases available. In this present review the focus is on a few popular and most widely used biological databases that store protein sequence and structure information. The databases that are of utmost importance to do basic biological research work are PDB, SCOP, CATH and UniProt/SwissProt and GenBank. These databases have different utilities & they play important roles in different fields of biology and bioinformatics. PDB provides the structural information of proteins, protein-complexes and proteins complexed with other macromolecules. SCOP & CATH store various annotations of protein sequences and structures. UniProt is a central repository of protein sequences & functions created by joining the information contained in SwissProt, TrEMBL.
