TL;DR: The protein data bank (PDB), at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is a database containing information on experimentally determined three-dimensional structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules, with approximately 9000 entries.
Abstract: The Protein Data Bank is the international depository for the results of structural studies of biological macromolecules. At present, some 1200 biological macromolecules are reported to have been crystallized, of which approximately 350 have structures determined to sufficient resolution that an atomic model has been generated. The Data Bank currently holds over 260 coordinate entries, with bibliographic entries for the remaining structures. For approximately one-third of the coordinate entries, associated structure factors are stored in the Bank. Most of the coordinate entries in the Bank are based directly on crystallographic studies. The Bank also includes a small number of model structures which have been generated either by theoretical analysis and computer simulation or by analogy with structures of chemically homologous molecules. Although the first structures deposited were proteins, we now distribute coordinates for DNA, tRNA, and polysaccharides as well. In quite a few instances, several data sets are held for a macromolecule obtained from different organisms, or in different states. 1 reference, 8 tables. (ACR)

Abstract: SWISS-PROT is an annotated protein sequence database established in 1986 and maintained collaboratively, since 1988, by the Department of Medical Biochemistry of the University of Geneva and the EMBL Data Library
TL;DR: The ENZYME data bank is a repository of information relative to the nomenclature of enzymes and it contains the following data for each type of characterized enzyme for which an EC (Enzyme Commission) number has been provided.
Abstract: SWISS-PROT is an annotated protein sequence database established in 1986 and maintained collaboratively, since 1988, by the Department of Medical Biochemistry of the University of Geneva and the EMBL Data Library. The SWISS-PROT protein sequence data bank consist of sequence entries. Sequence entries are composed of different lines types, each with their own format. For standardization purposes the format of SWISS-PROT follows as closely as possible that of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database. A sample SWISS-PROT entry is shown in Figure 1.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide readers interested in urban history with a data bank in which are collected the available figures for the population development of some 2200 European cities which had at some time between 800 and 1800 5000 or more inhabitants.
Abstract: The chief purpose of the present publication is to provide readers interested in urban history with a data bank in which are collected the available figures for the population development of some 2200 European cities which have had at some time between 800 and 1800 5000 or more inhabitants The work is in four parts the first being the data bank itself containing information on alternative names sources and maps Trends in urbanization from 1300 to 1800 are then analyzed A series of methodological appendixes and an index of primary and alternative names of cities are also included (EXCERPT)
