PRINTS is a compendium of protein fingerprints. A fingerprint is a group of conserved motifs used to characterise a protein family; its diagnostic power is refined by iterative scanning of a SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL composite. Usually the motifs do not overlap, but are separated along a sequence, though they may be contiguous in 3D-space. Fingerprints can encode protein folds and functionalities more flexibly and powerfully than can single motifs, full diagnostic potency deriving from the mutual context provided by motif neighbours.
prints
Local identifiers in PRINTS compendium of protein fingerprints should match this
regular expression:
^PR\d{5}$
Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from PRINTS compendium of protein fingerprints should match
this regular expression:
^prints:PR\d{5}$
The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are
6 mappings to external registries for prints

logic beyond string formatting.
