Two‐dimensional electrophoresis (2‐DE) has become a highly reproducible protein separation technique that currently serves as the main basis for proteome research and in particular for protein identification. Also, the Internet provides large utilities for exchanging data, and we can observe increased interest among scientists to build remote 2‐DE databases, since many members of the concerned community are now able to access the data. By preparing the data and programs that are required to create a federated 2‐DE database, the Make2ddb package, described here, helps to build such a database on the user own World Wide Web site.
