Key Points

  • The aim is to discuss the PROSITE database and its utility in protein family and domain identification.
  • Describes the structure of the PROSITE database.
  • Explains how computational tools interact with the database to analyze new sequences.
  • Demonstrates the capability of PROSITE to classify sequences to known protein families.
  • Highlights the importance of patterns and profiles in identifying protein domains.

Abstract

The PROSITE database consists of biologically significant patterns and profiles formulated in such a way that with appropriate computational tools it can help to determine to which known family of proteins (if any) a new sequence belongs or which known domain(s) it contains.
