NeXtprot. Exploring the universe of human proteins

PROSITE is a database of protein families and domains. It is based on the observation that, while there is a huge number of different proteins, most of them can be grouped, on the basis of similarities in their sequences, into a limited number of families. Proteins or protein domains belonging to a particular family generally share functional attributes and are derived from a common ancestor

Phosida allows the retrieval of phosphorylation, acetylation, and N-glycosylation data of any protein of interest. It lists posttranslational modification sites associated with particular projects and proteomes or, alternatively, displays posttranslational modifications found for any protein or protein group of interest

PhosphoSitePlus provides comprehensive information and tools for the study of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) including phosphorylation, acetylation, and more.

STRING is a database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations; they stem from computational prediction, from knowledge transfer between organisms, and from interactions aggregated from other (primary) databases .
