Motif Search in Protein Sequences

This tool scans full-length protein or peptide sequences for embedded motifs associated with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) at specific subcellular locations. Select the subcellular location you wish to scan for, then choose a colour class scheme for visualizing the motif hits on the sequence. Sequences should be submitted in FASTA format. For help with input format and result interpretation, please visit the Help page.

Paste protein/peptide sequence(s) in FASTA format:

Select Subcellular Location to Scan:

Click a location to search for motifs associated with CPP targeting to that compartment. Only one location can be selected at a time.

No location selected - click one above.

Select Colour Class for Motif Highlighting:

Motif hits on the sequence will be coloured according to the selected amino acid property scheme.
