Which commercial databases are adept in storing biological sequences like Protein/DNA sequence? Are there any which were designed specifically to store such sequences?

cheers

One of the areas targetted by Oracle's 10g release was bioinformatics. There is a summary of the relevant database features on the Oracle web site. Find it here. It includes support for BLAST which I think is particularly relevant to your question.

There's BLASTgres for PostgreSQL, but I have no personal experience with it.
