 Sequencing
            BLAST and BLASTP – NIH   http://ncbi.nih.gov/Structure/MISC/linking.html
            http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

      Compare multiple sequences using 
            Dotlet  at www.ch.embnet.org

Lalign   www.ch.embnet.org/software/LALIGN_form.html

 Models / Tools

            GESAPI – Modeling language

            SBML – Systems Biology Markup Language – developed at Caltech, et al.

UltraSAN

Miscellaneous proprietary tools/modeling software – Comsol – www.comsol.com etc.

Chemical Databases

American Chemical Society – have to pay to get full articles, but can get abstracts and citations and go to a library to copy the full article.
