Protein Identification
Linkpage 1 - ExPASy
(SIB) 
ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) is a proteomics server provided by the SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). Among many other links, it provides also a list of tools concerning protein identification and characterization, like tools related to protein chemistry and mass spectrometry resources, and peptide mass fingerprinting data.     
Please also have a look at the ExPASy main section.

Protein Sequence Analysis
(Pasteur Institute)
This linkpage for protein sequence analysis provided by the Pasteur Inst. contains links to numerous programs for general protein sequence analysis, including many EMBOSS tools.
DIGEST
(EMBOSS, Pasteur) 
Digest finds the positions where a specified proteolytic enzyme or reagent might cut a peptide sequence. This programs allows you to input a protein sequence and to specify one proteolytic agent from a list. It will then output a file containing the positions where the agent cuts, together with the peptides produced.
PeptideCutter
(ExPASy)

and
Cutter
(Tours University, France)
PeptideCutter is a program from the ExPASy portal which predicts potential protease cleavage sites and sites cleaved by chemicals in a given protein sequence. PeptideCutter returns the query sequence with the possible cleavage sites mapped on it and /or a table of cleavage site positions. 
Also, the site provides a comprehensive compendium of all proteases and chemicals included.

Cutter is part of the PROLYSIS web site provided by the University of Tours, France. Cutter performs similarly to PeptideCutter above.
             

Selected Proteomics Datasets
Vascular Biology - proteomics datasets

including:
Vascular proteomics
(
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, St George's Hospital Medical School, London)
Vascular Proteomics is a web site, provided at the Department of Cardiac and Vascular Sciences, St George's Hospital Medical School, University of London. The objective of this site is to identify protein changes in vascular disease and to translate them into a functional context by combining proteomics with other established technologies such as molecular biology and metabolomics.

The Methods section describes the most important techniques used in the proteomics field, like two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), tryptic digestion, MALDI-Tof MS, and Q-Tof MS/MS.
The Protein Maps section provides protein maps of mouse smooth muscle cells, Sca-1+ progenitor cells, and embryonic stem cells.
The Search Spots section allows the interactive search for individual proteins of interest.
NOTE: Data will be available after publication!
