Databases by Subject

Biotechnology

Biological Macromolecule Crystallization Database (BMCD) (NIST)*: Contains crystal data and the crystallization conditions which have been compiled from literature. Also includes the NASA Protein Crystal Growth Archive. Help: e-mail the BMCD Webmaster.

HIV Protease Database (HIVdb): An archive of experimentally determined 3-D structures of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1(HIV-1), Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 (HIV-2), and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) proteases and their complexes with inhibitors or products of substrate cleavage.

Human Mitochondrial Protein Database (HMPDB): The Human Mitochondrial Protein Database (HMPDB) contains information about the human nuclear and mitochondrial encoding proteins. The mitochondrion plays a central role in cellular metabolism, and there is increasing evidence of mitochondrial involvement in a number of different human diseases. This database is intended as a tool to aid in studying these diseases. Email questions or comments to MitoDb@nist.gov.

Ingenta (Carl Uncover): Citations with abstracts in all subject areas. Time coverage varies. Library does not subscribe to the full text document delivery service offered.

Medline: National Library of Medicine's comprehensive index to biomedical journal articles.

National Center for Biotechnology Information: A guide for navigation of the publicly available genome databases

NIST Data Gateway: Provides easy access to NIST Standard Reference Databases. These data cover a broad range of substances and properties from many different scientific disciplines. E-mail questions or comments to srdata@nist.gov.

NIST Standard Reference Materials: Approximately 1300 SRMs are currently available for use in; (1) industrial materials production and analysis; (2) environmental analysis; (3) health measurements, and (4) basic measurements in science and metrology. For questions or more information about SRMs e-mail srminfo@nist.gov.

PDB: The Protein Data Bank (NIST) *: Worldwide respository for the processing and distribution of 3-D biological macromolecular structure data. Help using the PDB.

Short Tandem Repeat DNA Internet Database (NIST)*: Contains data intended to benefit research and application of short tandem repeat DNA markers to human identity testing. E-mail questions and comments about this database to John Butler.

Thermodynamics of Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions (NIST) *: Provides a compilation of data on the thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Questions and comments about this database may be directed to Dr. Robert Goldberg.
