What problem does it solve?
This skill enables researchers and developers to quickly retrieve protein sequences and functional annotations from UniProt, streamlining data lookup and cross-referencing related resources.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Sequence retrieval: Fetch amino acid sequences by UniProt accession.
- Annotation extraction: Retrieve functional descriptions, domains, and variant information.
- Cross-references: Access associated PDB structures and related entries to inform design or analysis.
- Use Case: When you need the sequence of a protein by accession P00533 and want its domain boundaries and 3D structure references for design work.
- The skill can be used in pipelines to populate local databases or to drive design queries.
Quick Start
Use curl or Python requests to fetch data from the UniProt REST API, for example:
curl "https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P00533.fasta" and/or
curl "https://rest.uniprot.org/uniprotkb/P00533.json"
