The Database Issue of NAR is freely available, and categorizes many of the public biological databases. A companion database to the issue called the Online Molecular Biology Database Collection lists 1,380 online databases. [15] Other collections of databases exist such as MetaBase and the Bioinformatics Links Collection. [16] [17]
database of protein similarities computed using FASTA: Protein model databases Swiss-model: server and repository for protein structure models Protein model databases AAindex: database of amino acid indices, amino acid mutation matrices, and pair-wise contact potentials Protein model databases BioGRID: Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute
Biodiversity databases store taxonomic information alone or more commonly also other information like distribution (spatial) data and ecological data, which provide information on the biodiversity of a particular area or group of living organisms. They may store specimen-level information, species-level information, information on nomenclature ...
Taxonomic databases digitize scientific biodiversity data and provide access to taxonomic data for research. [1] Taxonomic databases vary in breadth of the groups of taxa and geographical space they seek to include, for example: beetles in a defined region, mammals globally, or all described taxa in the tree of life.

The term structural has the same meaning as in structural biology, and structural bioinformatics can be seen as a part of computational structural biology. The main objective of structural bioinformatics is the creation of new methods of analysing and manipulating biological macromolecular data in order to solve problems in biology and generate ...
Global access to the data is provided by the websites of the wwPDB member organisations (PDBe, [3] PDBj, [4] RCSB PDB, [5] and BMRB [6]). The PDB is a key in areas of structural biology, such as structural genomics. Most major scientific journals and some funding agencies now require scientists to submit their structure data to the PDB.
Biological data has also been difficult to define, as bioinformatics is a wide-encompassing field. Further, the question of what constitutes as being a living organism has been contentious, as "alive" represents a nebulous term that encompasses molecular evolution, biological modeling, biophysics, and systems biology.
Enterprise data management (EDM) is the ability of an organization to precisely define, easily integrate and effectively retrieve data for both internal applications and external communication. EDM focuses on the creation of accurate, consistent, and transparent content.
