where can we get the full length of amino acid sequences? i have very little bioinformatic background so please the more you explain the better it would be
thank you!
thank you!

There are several databases that provide aa sequences for various proteins. Some commonly used databases include UniProt, NCBI Protein database, and Swiss-Prot. These databases can be accessed online for free.
You can use bioinformatics tools such as BLAST or Clustal Omega to retrieve aa sequences for multiple proteins at once. These tools allow you to input a list of protein names or sequences and will provide the corresponding aa sequences.
Yes, most databases allow you to search for aa sequences based on the organism of interest. You can also use advanced search options in bioinformatics tools to filter results by organism.
Some databases may not have aa sequences for all proteins, especially for newly discovered or rare proteins. Additionally, the aa sequences in databases may not always be completely accurate, so it is important to verify them through other sources.
The frequency of updates varies depending on the database. Some databases update aa sequences daily, while others may update them less frequently, such as once a month or once a year. It is important to check the date of the aa sequence to ensure you are using the most recent version.
