HELP PROT
 
 
The service provided by the EMBL Data Library allows users to download specific
entries and indices from the SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence Database.
Presently, only data and indices from the latest SWISS-PROT release are
available. As soon as data can be made made available systematically
between releases, it will be made available via the EMBL File Server.
 
The following files are available in the PROT directory:
 
    o   Every entry in the current release of the SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence
        database.
        Each entry is stored in a separate file; the filename is the same as
        the entryname. Entries can be accessed either by ENTRY NAME or
        ACCESSION NUMBER.
 
    o   Database indices
        ACNUMBER.NDX            - accession number index
        AUTHOR.NDX              - author index
        CITATION.NDX            - citation index
        KEYWORD.NDX             - keyword index
        SHORTDIR.NDX            - short directory index
        SPECIES.NDX             - species index
 
    o   RELNOTES.DOC            - Release Notes for the latest release of
                                  the SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence Database
 
    o   SWISSPRT.USR            - The SWISS-PROT Protein Sequence Database
                                  user manual which describes the format
                                  and conventions used in the database.
 
 
An example:
 
The following commands can be mailed to the EMBL File Server to get a copy
of the SWISS-PROT entries B2MG$RAT and P01930 (accession number).
 
GET Prot:B2MG$RAT
GET Prot:P01930
