EPD The Eukaryotic Promoter Database is a resource that deals with Eukaryotic transcription regulation
ExPASy The ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) proteomics server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) is dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures as well as 2-D PAGE

Clustering Databases

ClusSTr This database offers an automatic classification of Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL proteins into groups of related proteins
COG The database of Clusters of Orthologous Groups of Proteins (COGs)
ProDom ProDom provides automated analysis of protein domains
SYSTERS Systers classifies the whole of Swiss-Prot and PIR into disjoint protein family clusters, which are then related as family and superfamily clusters.
ProtoMap ProtoMap is an automatic classification of all Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL proteins that works with complete protein sequences

Protein Signature Databases

Pfam Pfam is a collection of multiple protein sequence alignments and provides a good resource of models for identifying protein families, domains and repeats
SMART The Smart database facilitate the identification and annotation of genetically mobile domains and the analysis of domain structures
TIGRFAMs Tigrfams groups homologous proteins that are conserved with respect to function
BLOCKS Blocks is a collection of multiply aligned ungapped segments corresponding to the most highly-conserved of proteins.

Integrated Derived Databases

iProClass iProClass links ProClass, PIR-ALN, PROSITE, Pfam and Blocks into a single database providing family relationships and structural features of protein sequences
CDD CDD is a database of domains derived from SMART, Pfam and contributions from NCBI LOAD (Library Of Ancient Domains) and use an algorithm to identify conserved domains in protein sequences
Interpro Interpro integrates diagnostic protein signatures from PROSITE, PRINTS, Pfam, SMART and TIGRFAMs.
