International Immunogenetics Information System http://imgt.cines.fr/
Created by Marie-Paule Lefranc from Universite Monpellier, the international ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) information system® "is a high-quality integrated knowledge resource specializing in immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR), major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and related proteins of the immune system of human and other vertebrate species." The site contains sequence databases, genome and structure databases, web resources, and other interactive tools. With hundreds, if not thousands, of alleles and genes represented in the databases, the site is a resource packed full of information.

Membrane Channel and Pump Structures http://info.bio.cmu.edu/Courses/BiochemMols/Channels/channelsIntro.htm
Dr. William McClure at Carnegie Mellon University created this helpful, interactive website for college biochemistry students. With extensive use of Chime, students and educators can view a series of three dimensional membrane channels including KcsA K+ Channel, Acetylcholine Binding Protein, and Glycerol Channel Structure. The second part of the website supplies users with several animated models of various membrane pumps and transporters. The site also provides a few links for those looking for additional educational sources. These tutorials will certainly help students with their biochemistry problems.

Protein Information Resource: RESID Database http://www-nbrf.georgetown.edu/pirwww/dbinfo/resid.html
This RESID Database website, developed by Georgetown University Medical Center's Protein Information Resource (PIR), "is a comprehensive collection of annotations and structures for protein modifications including amino-terminal, carboxyl-terminal and peptide chain cross-link, pre-, co- and post-transitional modifications."
