InterPro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

InterPro is a database of protein families, domains and functional sites in which identifiable features found in known proteins can be applied to new protein sequences.

The database is available for text- and sequence-based searches via a webserver (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro), and for download by anonymous FTP (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/interpro). Like other EBI databases, it represents the public domain, since its content can be used "by any individual and for any purpose" [1].

To cite a particular InterPro article in Wikipedia, use the template of the form {{InterPro|IPRxxxxxx}}, where IPRxxxxxx is an InterPro accession number, for instance IPR000001.
