PRINTS
Protein Motif Fingerprint Database
PRINTS is a compendium of protein fingerprints. A fingerprint
is a group of conserved motifs used to characterise a protein family; its
diagnostic power is refined by iterative scanning of OWL. Usually
the motifs do not overlap, but are separated along a sequence, though they
may be contiguous in 3D-space. Fingerprints can encode protein folds and
functionalities more flexibly and powerfully than can single motifs: the
database thus provides a useful adjunct to PROSITE. References
