Databases

There are two types of databases

Sequence only databases
Sequence + Structure Databases

The Sequence only databases

Genbank - Nucleic Acids
PIR - Proteins
SwissProt - Proteins

These databases do not contain any 3D coordinate information. Any structural information is contained in the descriptive header. Structural information in these kinds of databases consists only of regions of secondary structure, possible binding sites of ligands, disulfide bonds, post-translational modifications.
