PROSITE Search

Search the PROSITE database for protein motifs, domains, and functional site patterns by keyword. Uses the EBI InterPro API which indexes all PROSITE entries. Returns accession numbers, names, types, and InterPro cross-references. Useful for finding PROSITE patterns related to a biological function (e.g., 'kinase', 'zinc finger', 'glycosylation'). Follow up with PROSITE_get_entry to get full details of any result.
