Maintained by Philipp Bucher, Stanford University. LiMB - LIsting of Molecular Biology databases. A collection of information about the content and maintenance of a large number of databases of interest to the molecular biology community. Maintained by Gifford Keen, Los Alamos National Laboratory. metabolism - mol-model - A central data repository where workers in the field of macromolecular modelling can deposit and retrieve parameter sets, potential energy functions, and associated data relevant to molecular modelling applications. Maintained by Jay Ponder, Washington Univ., and David States, NCBI.
