Databases
The Colorado State University Libraries subscribes to hundreds of databases. A thorough search often requires that you consult more than one database. TheCSU Libraries' Databases Webpage has a full listing of accessible databases. For hints on how to select and use databases try our Help with Databases site.
Primary Databases in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- Biological Abstracts (1969-present) OVID
Biological Abstracts is one of the foremost sources of bibliographic references to the life science literature including international reviews, reports, meetings, and books. This database allows researchers and students to retrieve references to vital biological and medical research findings, clinical studies, and discoveries of new organisms. Coverage is international, and includes agriculture, biochemistry, biomedicine, biotechnology, botany, ecology, microbiology, pharmacology, and zoology.
- Biological Sciences (1982-present) CSA
This interdisciplinary database offers abstracts and citations to a wide range of research in biomedicine, biotechnology, zoology and ecology, and some aspects of agriculture and veterinary science. Supporting over two dozen areas of expertise, this CSA database provides access to literature from over 6000 sources including serials, conference proceedings, technical reports, monographs and selected books and patents.
- MEDLINE NLM (PubMed) (1950-present) PubMed
- MEDLINE (OVID) (1966-present) OVID
Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the MEDLINE database is the premier database for bibliographic and abstract coverage of international biomedical literature.
- Nucleic Acids Abstracts (1982-present) CSA
Cites journal articles concerning various aspects of nucleic acids with a specific emphasis on RNA, DNA, enzymes, gene regulation and gene manipulation.
- SciFinder Scholar (1945-present) ACS Note: Only available on campus on computers with appropriate software.
Premier resource for chemists but also extremely valuable for biochemistry and biology research. Searchable by compound, CAS number, and keyword.
- Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded) (1945-present) ISI
International coverage of a wide range of scientific literature. This database also offers cited reference searching.
