This program allows to scan a protein sequence (either from Swiss-Prot or TrEMBL or provided by the user)
for the occurrence of patterns and profiles stored in the PROSITE database, or to search protein
databases with a user-entered pattern [Reference / Download ps_scan, the standalone version]. The program PRATT can be used to generate your own patterns. You may either:
enter a PROSITE accession number or pattern to search the
Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL and/or PDB databases with a pattern, OR
enter a sequence or a Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL accession number to
scan the sequence with all patterns, profiles and rules in PROSITE,
OR
fill in both fields to find all occurrences of a pattern or
profile in a sequence.
