If you want to know something about a protein - any protein - your first thought should be to look it up in UniProt! For protein info, that’s the spot! With UniProt as a launchpad you can search for a protein of interest, get their sequences, align them, find similar ones, look at their domains & where else those domains occur, etc.. You can do way way more but I’m going to focus on taking you through an entry and then you should explore yourself!
