PASSS: Protein Active Site Structural Search
Developed by Edward Pryor, PASSS is an implementation of fuzzy functional form descriptors (FFFs; Skolnick and Fetrow, 1998; Fetrow, Godzik and Skolnick, 1998) of active sites in proteins. More information can be found here.

DASP: Deacon Active Site Profiler
Developed by Ryan Huff and Huan Tan, DASP is a web site application that implements a previously described method (Cammer, et al., 2003) and allows users to create a functional site profile for any protein family. More information can be found here.

SC2ATmd: Standard and Consensus Clustering Analysis Tool for Microarray Data
Developed by Amy Olex, SC2ATmd is a MATLAB-implemented application specifically designed for the exploration of microarray gene expression data via clustering. More information can be found here.

Procavo: PROtein CAVity Observer
Developed by Graham Lopez, PROCAVO can be used to analyze molecular dynamics trajectories to find cavities in proteins and how they change over time. More information can be found here.

Protein function:

Pfam Database
A large collection of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs).

Blocks Database
