Identify domains, families, and sites in proteins; find all proteins in a family or sharing a domain; explore species distribution for a domain; annotate genomes with protein families and GO terms. InterPro combines 14 databases (e.g., Pfam, CDD) into one searchable resource. InterPro-N significantly expands annotation and sequence coverage with deep learning. Includes domain architecture (IDA) search.
Performs multiple sequence alignment of proteins with EBI Clustal Omega. Use when you need to align multiple sequences to assess similarity, domain conservation, or key residue conservation. Supports up to 4000 sequences and a maximum file size of 4 MB. Do not use to search for homologous proteins in a database (use MMseqs2, BLAST), align non-protein sequences (DNA, RNA), perform structural alignment (use Foldseek, PyMOL), or if you only have a single sequence.
Searches for homologous protein sequences using MMseqs2 (fast, default) or BLAST (comprehensive, fallback). Trigger this whenever the user provides a protein sequence or FASTA file and asks to find homologues, sequence matches, or wants to infer protein function based on sequence similarity, but not when the user wants to infer protein function based on structural similarity.
Visualize, analyze, and render protein and molecular structures using PyMOL. Use when the user wants to create images of protein structures, perform structural alignments or superposition, measure distances or contacts, highlight binding sites or active site residues, color by B-factor/pLDDT, or analyze protein-ligand interactions. Do not use for docking, molecular dynamics, or sequence-only analysis.
Retrieve and analyze AlphaFold predicted structures for a protein. Use when the user provides a specific UniProt Accession ID and wants structural confidence metrics (pLDDT), domain boundary analysis, or disorder assessment. Do not use if the user only has a protein name, gene name, or amino acid sequence — ask for a UniProt ID first.
