Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool (SMART) is a biological database that is used in the identification and analysis of protein domains within protein sequences.cite-ref-pmid9600884-1-0[1]cite-ref-pmid18978020-2-0[2] SMART uses profile-hidden Markov models built from multiple sequence alignments to detect protein domains in protein sequences. The most recent release of SMART contains 1,204 domain models.cite-ref-3[3] Data from SMART was used in creating the Conserved Domain Database collection and is also distributed as part of the InterPro database.cite-ref-pmid12230031-4-0[4] The database is hosted by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg.
