Features includes functional sites or regions, secondary structure, structural domains and so on. Methods might use fingerprints, motifs, profiles, hidden Markov models, sequence alignment etc to provide a mapping of a query protein sequence to a discriminatory element. This includes methods that search a secondary protein database (Prosite, Blocks, ProDom, Prints, Pfam etc.) to assign a protein sequence(s) to a known protein family or group.
