Databases

Database	Description
Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB)	The Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB) contains experimentally determined three-dimensional maps and associated experimental data and files.
RCSB Protein Data Bank(PDB USA)	The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for 3-D structural data of proteins and nucleic acids.
WorldWide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB)	The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) consists of organizations that act as deposition, data processing and distribution centers for PDB data. The founding members are RCSB PDB (USA), PDBe (Europe) and PDBj (Japan).
PDBsum	PDBsum is a pictorial database providing an at-a-glance overview of every macromolecular structure deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
Protein Databank Europe(PDBe)	The Protein Databank Europe is the European project for the collection, management and distribution of data about macromolecular structures, derived in part from the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
Structural Biology Knowledgebase	A comprehensive resource for developments both in structural genomics and structural biology.

Software

Name	Description
ColoRNA	Determines which parts of the RNA secondary structure are responsible for the mobility of the 3D structure.

Web services

Server	Description
Geno3D	Automatic modeling of protein three-dimensional structure, cf. Bioinformatics article.
NPS@ server	NPS@ stands for Network Protein Sequence @nalysis. It is an interactive Web server dedicated to protein sequence analysis and available for the biologist community, cf. The NPS@ Web server.
