Database Description
The PROSITE database (http://www.expasy.org/prosite/) consists of a large collection of biologically meaningful signatures that are described as patterns or profiles. Each signature is linked to a documentation that gives useful biological information on the protein family, domain, or functional site identified by the signature.
Recent Developments
The PROSITE web page has been redesigned and several tools have been implemented not only to scan PROSITE but also to identify new signatures. We also introduced the possibility to scan PDB with a PROSITE entry or a user defined pattern and visualize matched positions on 3D structures.
