InterProScan is a tool that scans given protein sequences against the protein signatures of
the InterPro member databases, currently–PROSITE, PRINTS, Pfam, ProDom and SMART.
The number of signature databases and their associated scanning tools as well as the

Abstract
Summary: InterProScan is a tool that scans given protein sequences against the protein signatures of the InterPro member databases, currently – PROSITE, PRINTS, Pfam, ProDom and SMART. The number of signature databases and their associated scanning tools as well as the further refinement procedures make the problem complex. InterProScan is designed to be a scalable and extensible system with a robust internal architecture.
Availability: The Perl-based InterProScan implementation is available from the EBI ftp server (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/iprscan/) and the SRS-basedInterProScan is available upon request. We provide the public web interface (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/scan.html) as well as email submission server (interproscan@ebi.ac.uk).
