Protein Similarity Search

Discipline: Bioinformatics | Tools Used: 4 | Servers: 3

Description

Search for similar proteins: extract sequence from PDB, search structures with FoldSeek, find homologs with STRING, and check UniProt.

Tools Used

• extract_pdb_sequence from server-1 (sse) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/1/VenusFactory
• foldseek_search from server-1 (sse) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/1/VenusFactory
• get_best_similarity_hits_between_species from string-server (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/6/Origene-STRING
• search_uniprotkb_entries from uniprot-server (streamable-http) - https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/10/Origene-UniProt

Workflow

1. Extract sequence from PDB
2. Search similar structures via FoldSeek
3. Find cross-species homologs with STRING
4. Search UniProt for related entries

Test Case

Input

{
    "pdb_id": "1AKE"
}

Expected Steps

1. Extract sequence from PDB
2. Search similar structures via FoldSeek
3. Find cross-species homologs with STRING
4. Search UniProt for related entries

Usage Example

Note: Replace <YOUR_SCP_HUB_API_KEY> with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the SCP Platform.
