Pattern and profile searches
  • ScanProsite - Scan proteins for matches against the PROSITE collection of motifs as well as against your own patterns
  • InterPro Scan - Integrated search in PROSITE, Pfam, HAMAP, PRINTS and the other InterPro databases
  • Hits - Relationships between protein sequences and motifs
  • HAMAP-Scan - Scans several protein sequences or a whole genome against HAMAP profiles
  • MotifScan - Scans a sequence against several protein profile databases (including PROSITE)
  • HMMER - Biosequence analysis using profile hidden Markov Models
  • SUPERFAMILY Sequence Search - Assign SCOP domains to your sequences using the SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov models
  • 3of5ComplexPatternSearch - e.g. to search a sequence with a motif with 3 basic AA in 5 positions
  • ELM - Eukaryotic Linear Motif resource for scanning a sequence against functional site motifs
  • PRATT - Interactively generates conserved patterns from a series of unaligned proteins
  • PPSEARCH - Scans a sequence against all PROSITE patterns (allows a graphical output) (at EBI)
  • PATTINPROT - Scans a protein sequence or a protein database against one or several pattern(s) (at PBIL)
  • SMART - Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool (at EMBL)
