Why Use Pilus for Protein Research?

UniProt Enrichment

Gene cards are automatically enriched with UniProt protein data: accession, protein name, amino acid sequence, molecular weight, subcellular location, PDB structure IDs, and AlphaFold prediction link.

Protein-Gene Links

Proteins are enriched directly on gene cards. Maintain genome-to-proteome relationships automatically in your knowledge base.

Pathway Mapping

Link genes/proteins to metabolic pathways, signaling cascades, and biological processes they participate in.

3D Structure Access

Access PDB crystallographic structures and AlphaFold AI predictions directly from gene cards.

Typical Workflow

1

Import Proteins

Add proteins from UniProt using accession numbers or URLs.

2

Link to Genes

Connect proteins to their encoding genes from NCBI Gene.

3

Add Literature

Import relevant papers from PubMed and link to proteins.

4

Map Processes

Create process cards for pathways and connect involved proteins.

5

Visualize Network

Use the graph view to explore your protein knowledge network.
