About This Skill
What it does
This skill provides access to the UniProt database, a comprehensive resource for protein information. It allows agents to retrieve data such as protein sequences, functional annotations, taxonomic classifications, and related literature references. The skill enables querying of this vast biological dataset for specific proteins or groups of proteins.
When to use it
- Researching Protein Function: When you need detailed information about a particular protein's role in a biological process.
- Identifying Potential Drug Targets: To find proteins involved in disease pathways and assess their suitability as therapeutic targets.
- Analyzing Evolutionary Relationships: To compare protein sequences across different species and understand evolutionary connections.
- Validating Experimental Results: To cross-reference experimental findings with established UniProt data.
Key capabilities
- Access to UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL databases
- Protein sequence retrieval
- Functional annotation lookup
- Taxonomic classification information
- Literature references related to proteins
Example prompts
- "What is the function of protein P01013?"
- "Find all proteins involved in the MAPK signaling pathway."
- "Give me the sequence for human hemoglobin."
- “List all proteins with a GO term of ‘apoptosis’."
Tips & gotchas
- UniProt identifiers (like P01013) are essential for precise queries. Using ambiguous terms may return too many results.
