A simple client library for UniProt

Proteo

A simple Python library for working with UniProt, the Universal Protein resource.

Installation

pip install proteo

Usage

from proteo.uniprot import UniprotClient

# Initialize a client
u = UniprotClient()

# Use the get_protein method to retrieve a protein record by accession number
accession_number = "B5ZC00"
response = u.get_protein(accession_number)

# Protein data is returned as a dictionary
print(response['gene'])
#glyQS

print(response['recommended_name'])
#Glycine--tRNA ligase

print(response['sequence'])
