annotation for uncharicterized protein

Question

[Chao.wang2]

Hi guys,

I know blast and interproscan are two ways to annotate an uncharacterised protein(gene), However, I found blast is way too slow and interproscan can only output the domain information. Blast2Go is a commercial software that currently unavailable to us. Is there any other ways to do that ?

Thanks

Guys

cheers

Hello!

See the fillowing post in biostars.org

C: Classifying proteins as enzymes, GPCRs, ion channels, etc.

and all the messages inside. Geneontology is your probable choice.

If you are sure that your protein is prokaryotic one, you may try Rast:

It's free, but you will need to register.

Good luck!
