BLAST Protein Search
Search protein sequences using NCBI BLAST blastp against protein databases. Requires Biopython (pip install biopython). IMPORTANT: This tool uses NCBI's remote BLAST service which is inherently SLOW - expect 5-30 minutes per query depending on server load. This is normal NCBI behavior, not a bug. For faster results, use 'swissprot' or 'pdb' databases instead of 'nr'.
