All 16 EBI InterPro tools available for LangChain
When LangChain connects to EBI InterPro through Vinkius, your AI agent gets direct access to every tool listed below — spanning interpro, pfam, protein-domains, and more. Every call runs in a secure, isolated environment with full audit visibility. Beyond a simple connection, you get real-time monitoring of agent activity, enterprise governance, and optimized token usage.
Get cdd entry on EBI InterPro
CDD provides curated models for protein domain families and includes additional alignment and structure data. Use accessions like cd00001. Get CDD (Conserved Domain Database) entry details
Get clan on EBI InterPro
Returns clan accession, name, description, and member counts. Use Pfam clan accessions like CL0001. Get Pfam clan (super-family grouping) details
Get entry on EBI InterPro
Returns name, type (family, domain, homologous superfamily, repeat, site), description, Gene Ontology terms, member database cross-references, and literature count. Use accessions like IPR000001, IPR036291. Get InterPro entry metadata for a family or domain
Get entry proteins on EBI InterPro
Returns protein accessions, names, lengths, and source organisms. Useful for finding all members of a protein family across the UniProt database. Get all proteins matching an InterPro entry
Get entry structures on EBI InterPro
Returns PDB IDs, names, experiment types, and resolutions. Useful for finding structural representatives of a protein family or domain. Get all PDB structures matching an InterPro entry
Get entry taxonomy on EBI InterPro
Returns taxonomy nodes with names, ranks, and protein counts. This answers the evolutionary biology question "which organisms have this domain/family?" and is essential for understanding protein evolution and conservation. Get taxonomic distribution of an InterPro entry
Get pfam entry on EBI InterPro
Pfam is the most widely used protein domain database. Use accessions like PF00069 (kinase domain), PF00076 (RRM domain). Get Pfam domain or family details
Get protein on EBI InterPro
Returns the protein name, length, source organism, evidence level, fragment status, and counters for how many InterPro entries, Pfam domains, structures, and taxa are associated with it. Get protein details with all domain and family assignments
Get protein entries on EBI InterPro
This is the key tool for understanding "what domains does my protein have?" — the fundamental question in protein characterization. Get all InterPro entries matching a specific protein
Get proteome on EBI InterPro
Returns proteome ID, organism name, strain, reference status, and counters for associated entries and proteins. Use UniProt proteome IDs like UP000005640 (human). Get proteome details with domain coverage statistics
Get structure on EBI InterPro
Use a 4-character PDB ID like 1cbs or 4hhb. Get a PDB structure with mapped InterPro annotations
Get taxonomy on EBI InterPro
Returns the organism name, rank, lineage, number of children taxa, and counters for associated InterPro entries and proteins. Use IDs like 9606 (human), 10090 (mouse), 562 (E. coli). Get taxonomic node with entry and protein counts
List entry databases on EBI InterPro
Shows the number of entries in each database. Useful for understanding the scope of available domain and family annotations. List all InterPro member databases and entry counts
Search entries on EBI InterPro
Optionally filter by entry type: family, domain, homologous_superfamily, repeat, or site. Returns accessions, names, types, and protein/structure counts. Use queries like "kinase", "zinc finger", "immunoglobulin". Search InterPro entries by keyword and type
Search proteins on EBI InterPro
Returns UniProt accessions, names, lengths, organisms, and annotation counts. Use queries like "insulin", "hemoglobin", "BRCA1". Search proteins in InterPro by name or keyword
