+ A protein motif fingerprint database maintained at the University of
+ Manchester. A fingerprint is a group of conserved motifs used to
+ characterise a protein family; its diagnostic power is refined by
+ iterative scanning of a SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL composite. Usually the motifs
+ do not overlap, but are separated along a sequence, though they may be
+ contiguous in 3D-space. Fingerprints can encode protein folds and
+ functionalities more flexibly and powerfully than can single motifs,
+ full diagnostic potency deriving from the mutual context provided by
+ motif neighbours.
