Proteomics stuff
Peptide Atlas: a multi-organism, publicly accessible compendium of peptides identified in a large set of tandem mass spectrometry proteomics experiments.
TPP developers' group, TPP users' group
Mayu: analysis of (large) mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics data sets. Mayu determines protein identification false discovery rates (protFDR), peptide identification false discovery rates (pepFDR) and peptide-spectrum match false discovery rates (mFDR) using a novel robust and fast strategy. Developed by Lukas Reiter.

General computational biology stuff
Swiss-Prot curated protein sequence database
ftp://ftp.uniprot.org/pub/databases/uniprot/current_release/knowledgebase/complete: Download Swiss-Prot and other UniProt databases, updated every 3 weeks. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot purportedly contains the canonical human proteome (The UniProt Consortium, "The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) 2009, Nucleic Acids Research 2008 1-6) consisting of 20,325 entries for UniProt release 14.0. Swiss-Prot release 56.6 of 16-Dec-08 contains 20,333 human proteins.
[ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/repository/UniGene/Homo_sapiens: Download NCBI's UniGene human. Contains chromosomal information, among many other data.
