Subject Dictionaries
Oxford dictionary of biochemistry and molecular biology
The Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides a comprehensive survey of current biochemistry and molecular biology. The entries are short but informative, providing up-to-date information on a broad range of topics, including definitions for selected terms from Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Immunology, Mathematics, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Systems Biology, and Toxicology. There are over 21,000 main entries, which give details of biochemical substances and the processes in which they are involved, define methods and concepts in molecular biology, and give definitions of biochemical symbols and abbreviations. It points out pitfalls where terms are often confused. It explains the precise syntax of biochemical terms, such as Greek letters and other formatting, which are lost when searching the Internet. In addition the dictionary is illustrated with over 900 chemical structures.

The Biochemical Society exists to promote Biochemistry and the Molecular Biosciences, representing the interests of all those working in the sector. The Society recognizes that the discipline of 'Biochemistry' now encompasses the entire breadth of Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences and this is reflected in the range of our activities and our strapline - 'Advancing Molecular Bioscience'. We also believe that we are part of a Bioscience community with a proliferation of learned societies with whom we work to foster a community of Bioscientists, thereby delivering our mission more effectively.
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
http://www.asbmb.org/
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization with over 12,000 members. Founded in 1906, the Society is based in Bethesda, Maryland, on the campus of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. The Society's purpose is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology through publication of scientific and educational journals: the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, and the Journal of Lipid Research, organization of scientific meetings, advocacy for funding of basic research and education, support of science education at all levels, and promoting the diversity of individuals entering the scientific workforce.

Additional Information
Proteopedia
A wiki that has lots of information about proteins. It is a great place to start learning about a protein. It works somewhat like Wikipedia, except that not all the pages are open for general editing and the pages are edited by people knowlegeable about proteins.
Protein Data Bank
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for all solved protein structures. It gives coordinates for all atoms and other information about the protein structure.
Entrez
A database maintained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which tries to organize all the information available about biomedical sciences. It links together sequences, structures, references, etc
SCOP
Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) organizes proteins into families based on their structural similarities.
KEGG
Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes is a database of the metabolic pathways in different organims. It neatly displays these pathways and the enzymes and metabolites involved in them. It is easiest to use if you enter an EC number for a particular enzyme. To do this, choose SEARCH OBJECTS IN KEGG PATHWAYS from the top table. Enter your EC number and click Exec.
OMIM
OMIM is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders. It is easiest to use if you enter an EC number for a particular enzyme.
ChEBI
A list of more than 2700 natural and synthetic small molecular entities: atoms, molecules, free radicals, ions, and other chemicals with biological impact. It lists the substance's chemical classification, function, alternate names, structure, a link to KEGG, and the proteins it interacts with.
