Protein Database

A protein database is an organized collection of information about proteins, which are essential molecules in living organisms that perform various functions like building tissues and facilitating biological reactions. It contains detailed data including the protein’s structure, sequence of amino acids, functions, and relationships to other proteins. Researchers use these databases to study proteins, understand diseases, and develop medicines. Examples include the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and UniProt, which help scientists share and access accurate, comprehensive information about proteins worldwide.
