Types of Databases Used and Why It Is Useful

UniProt

Resources of protein sequences and contain large amount of biological functional information of proteins.

NCBI Protein database

Sequences collections, contains proteins translation from annotated coding regions where has ability to determine bioogical structure and functions.

Protein Data Bank (PDB)

3-Dimensional structural data of large biological molecules

Database that contains biomolecular structure and protein domain ( structural data of macromolecules)

Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOPe)

Comprehensive description of proteins structural, proteins folds, superfamilies and families statistics.

Contains proteins structural domains based on similarities of structures and amino acid sequences

SWISS-MODEL Repository

a database of annotated 3-dimensional comparative proteins structure model generated by automated homology-modelling pipeline Swiss-model

BRENDA

Database of enzyme information system representing one of the most comprehensive enzyme repositories

InterPro

Database that consist of proteins sequences and analysis.

Database that consisit of protein families, domains and functional sites proteins can be applied to new protein sequences.

Criteria for selection of NAR Database

Free access database

Wide scope and annually updated database

The database has a large utility to scientific community

Extention with convenient search tools with easy to use visualization

Web-accessible databases that offer carefully curated data that are not available elsewhere

Data werehouses, portals, cross-platform search tools and visualization tools

Consideration of so-called ‘boutique’ databases, covering relatively narrow topics

Consists a semi-automated procedure which had set in motion and author had devised.
