Sequence Motif Searching
06/09
Use Advanced Search to find short sequence patterns in PDB structure FASTA sequences using the following syntax options:
- Simple: Sequence fragments using IUPAC one-letter codes for amino acids (e.g., MQTIF) plus ‘X’ to indicate any amino acid at a position. For example, use XPPXP to search for SH3 domains (where X is a variable residue and P is Proline)
- PROSITE: Complex queries that include ambiguities, exempt amino acids, repetition, and/or positioning at N- or C-terminus can be expressed using PROSITE patterns (e.g., [AC]-x-V-x(4)-{ED}). Visit PROSITE for definitions
- Regex: Build complex sequence searches using regular expressions (Details)
Set "Display Results as" to Polymer Entities to view the numbering for the sequential sequence match region (corresponding to PDBx/mmCIF file numbering).
