POST /api/v1/pept2interpro
Returns the functional InterPro entries associated with a given tryptic peptide.
This method returns the functional InterPro entries associated with a given tryptic peptide.
Request
The pept2interpro method can be used by doing a HTTP POST-request (preferred) or GET-request to http://api.unipept.ugent.be/api/v1/pept2interpro. Parameters can be included in the request body (POST) or in the query string (GET). The only required parameter is input[], which takes one or more tryptic peptides.
input
input[] is a required parameter that takes one or more tryptic peptides. Unipept will return the functional InterPro entries associated with each of the input[] peptides based on their occurrence in UniProt entries. To pass multiple peptides at once, simply add multiple input[] parameters (see example).
Input size
Unipept puts no restrictions on the number of peptides passed to the input[] parameter. Keep in mind that searching for lots of peptides at once may cause the request to timeout or, in the case of a GET-request, exceed the maximum URL length. When performing bulk searches, we suggest splitting the input set over requests of 100 peptides each.
equate_il
equate_il is an optional parameter and can either be true or false. When not set explicitly, the parameter defaults to false. When the parameter is set to true, isoleucine (I) and leucine (L) are equated when matching tryptic peptides to UniProt entries. This setting is similar to checking the Equate I and L? checkbox when performing a search with the Tryptic Peptide Analysis in the web interface.
extra
extra is an optional parameter and can either be true or false. When not set explicitly, the parameter defaults to false. When the parameter is set to true, Unipept will also return the name and type associated with each InterPro entry. See the response section for an overview of the information fields returned.
domains
domains is an optional parameter that can be used to separate the InterPro entries in groups according to their type (domain, family, homologous superfamily, repeat, conserved site, active site, binding site, PTM).
Performance penalty
Setting extra to true has a performance penalty inferred from additional database queries. Do not use this parameter unless the extra information fields are needed.
Response
A list of JSON objects is returned. By default, each object contains the following information fields:
peptide: The peptide that was searched for.total_protein_count: Total amount of proteins matched with the given peptide.ipr: A list of JSON objects that each represent an InterPro entry associated with the current tryptic peptide.code: InterPro entry code associated with the current tryptic peptide.protein_count: amount of proteins matched with the given tryptic peptide that are labeled with the current InterPro code.name: Optional, name of the InterPro entry. Included when theextraparameter is set totrue.type: Optional, type of the InterPro entry. Included when theextraparameter is set totrue.

|
equate_il optional |
Equate isoleucine (I) and leucine (L). Value: Must betrue or false (default)
|
|
extra optional |
Return additional information fields if true or false (default)
