Databases
The Chemical Abstracts Service can be contacted at the CAS Web Server
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides access to its
Environmental
Test Methods and Guidelines
Fundamental constants are available in a database at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology
The X-Ray World Wide Web Server at Uppsala University has several databases
of information on x-ray emission, absorption, scattering, electron binding energies, as well as historical information.
Many databases with biological or biochemical information are managed by the
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The Protein Data Bank
of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics offers access to three-dimensional structures of biological
macromolecules, provide a wealth of resources for using the information they contain in creative ways, and have links
to many other resources of potential interest to many analytical scientists. The
Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre accesses data on small-to-medium sized molecules.
Several databases provide access to genomic information, a field to which analytical chemistry is making major contributions. Most of the databases provide general information on their home pages for the newcomer to the field. Among the sources of databases are:
BioMagResBank, at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison
The SWISS-PROT Database of information on Proteins at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
