Search the PIR-International Protein Sequence Database (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

The Web version derived from PIR-International has hot links to the following Databases:

• GenBank - DNA Sequence Database
• DDBJ - The DNA Data Bank of Japan
• EC-Enzyme - The EC Enzyme Classification Database
• GDB - The Genome Data Base
• Refbase - A Protein Sequence Citation Database

Many of which have links among themselves and to other databases as well.

Searching:

You may search this database using booleans (and, or, not), nested booleans, wildcards (*), and phrase searches (" "). The maximum number of results returned is currently 200.

For Example: A search for -

reverse and transcriptase

will pull out all the reverse transcriptases.

A search for -

reverse and transcriptase not immunodeficiency

will narrow the search down a bit by screening the HIV and associated entries.
