How to search InterPro?

You can search InterPro (Figure 11) using either an amino acid or nucleotide sequence, a text search (e.g., with a word or short phrase, or a UniProt or InterPro identifier), a domain architecture, or browse through the InterPro member databases and/or entry types. The following sections will take you through these options.

Figure 11 Search fields on the InterPro home page, showing text search field (A) and the sequence search (B) options, including ‘Advanced options’, where you can change the sequence type (protein/amino acids is the default) and limit your search to those member databases or sequence features of interest. Selecting the browse tab in the top menu (C) allows access to a browse search, (e.g., search for member database signature, InterPro entry type). You can also search for a particular domain architecture (D).
