CLASSIFICATION OF MOLECULARBIOLOGY DATABASESSecond classification scheme:Follows the well known layout to describe the levels of organization ofprotein structures.● Primary DBs: the content consists of SEQUENCES (primarystructure of nucleic acids or proteins).● Secondary DBs: the content consists of PATTERNS (regions oflocal regularity, for example, conserved motifs or domains).● Structure DBs: the content consists of sets of ATOMICCOORDINATES (three-dimensional packing of secondary structureelements).This scheme applies only to biological molecules (for example, a databaseof results from micro-array expression experiments would not fit).
