What is the use of UniProt ?
• Useful in finding protein sequence and functional information.
• It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins.
• Useful for inferring evolutionary information.• We can also find out about the function of proteins by
studying properties such as the biological processes they are involved in.
their post-translational modifications their interaction with other molecules their location in cells and organisms

Proteomes
• A proteome consists of the set of proteins thought to be expressed by an organism whose genome has been completely sequenced.
Reference Proteome Set• They cover well-studied model organisms and other organisms of interest for
biomedical research and phylogeny.
