CATH Get Superfamily

Get CATH protein structure superfamily information by CATH ID. CATH classifies protein domain structures into a four-level hierarchy: Class, Architecture, Topology, Homologous superfamily. Superfamilies group evolutionarily related domains. Returns classification name, number of families, and domain counts. Example: 2.40.50.140 returns 'Nucleic acid-binding proteins' with 227 S35 families and 2,879 total domains.
