It is possible to retrieve entries from the database by specifying either the Accession Number or the Index Number . The accession number is a unique identifier for a protein within the database. It will not change between subsequent revisions of the database and is external to the ProteinProspector package. The index number for a particular protein is internal to the ProteinProspector package and is likely to change when you update the database. Both the index number and the accession number are reported in ProteinProspector search results.
Entries are generally more efficiently retrieved using index numbers.
