Scroll down on the ExPASy tools webpage to the section entitled "pattern and profile searches". The tools that populate this section are designed toidentify proteins that belong to well characterized protein families, usually identified by conserved domains within family members.Also, well known protein motifs, or domains, are represented independently of their protein families in pattern databases that contain the conservedaspects of the domain sequence. Select the tool entitled "InterPro Scan" (3) to perform an integrated search in PROSITE, Pfam, PRINTS and other familyand domain databases. This tool is useful for identifying specific domains or motifs within a protein, once the sequence has been determined, and cansometimes recognize the protein as a member of an established protein family. Test the efficacy of this tool with the following sequences, one at a time, but make surethe interactive run button is selected. An email address will be required to submit the job, but the results can be viewed in the browser interactively.
