Скачать или смотреть Biopython Lesson 11 | Working with Protein Databases | UniProt & Protein Annotation

Welcome to Lesson 11 of the Biopython Course, where we move from DNA to proteins and learn how real protein information is stored and accessed using UniProt, one of the most important protein databases in bioinformatics.

In this lesson, you will understand that proteins are not just amino acid sequences: they come with rich biological annotations such as function, structure, and biological roles.

In this lesson, you will learn:
What UniProt is and why it is used in bioinformatics
The difference between a raw protein sequence and an annotated protein
How to explore the UniProt website and download protein data
How to read a UniProt protein FASTA file using Biopython
How to access protein ID, description, sequence, and length using SeqIO

This lesson helps you connect online biological databases with Python programming, a crucial skill for real-world bioinformatics analysis and research.
