We have introduced a new tool, Peptide search, that lets you enter peptide sequences individually or in a group (e.g. from a proteomics experiment) to quickly find all UniProtKB sequences that exactly match one of your query sequences. You can also restrict your Peptise search to a taxonomic subset of UniProtKB to decrease the search time.
Publications view for UniProtKB entries: The publications annotated in UniProtKB have previously been displayed in the main ‘Entry’ view and a link provided access to a separate page that listed the computationally mapped publications. We have now combined all publications into a new ‘Publications’ view that can be accessed from a link under the ‘Display’ heading on the left hand side of a UniProtKB page. In this view you can filter the publications list by source and categories that are based on the type of data a publication contains about the protein (e.g. function, interaction, sequence) or the number of proteins it describes (‘small scale’ vs ‘large scale’). Try P10276 to see an example.
