CDD Recommended Databases

DeathBase

DeathBase is a database of proteins involved in cell death processes. Updated continuously by a team of expert curators whose areas of expertise cover all proteins involved in cell death in five model species, DeathBase provides a useful tool for anyone with an interest in apoptosis and cell death.

CASBAH

The Caspase Substrate database Homepage (CASBAH) provides a comprehensive list of caspase substrates as a searchable web resource containing information pertaining to all currently known caspase substrates.

The p53 website

The p53 website is a reference for all scientists working on p53, including information on p53 structure and function, the description of all p53 monoclonal antibodies and the phylogenetic analysis of p53. The p53 web site also hosts the UMD p53 mutation database that can download for clinical or epidemiological analysis.

Bcl-2 family database

Bcl-2 family database holds a collection of sequence, structural and functional information about one of the most studied protein families in cell biology, enabling researchers to readily retrieve Bcl-2 family sequences and related data.
