ABSTRACT

Bioinformatics is nowadays expanding itself, especially in the field of medical sciences. Due to involvement of effective and client friendly component, that is, computers rapid data analysis can be done with in a short duration of time. It helps to identify the disease and its cure on the basis of studies focuses to sequence analysis, sequencing, structure prediction, microarray data analysis, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. Structure-based drug design is one of the major areas of research based on computational analysis and interaction between protein (receptor) and ligand. In spite of that databases are the most important component of bioinformatics, which helps in data analysis, new lead designing, potent receptor identification, epitiope designing, etc. Immunological databases are the collection of information in a sequential and tabular manner, which help a user to access and retrieve the data related to immunology. These databases are growing day by day as the information related to disease is expanding tremendously.
