>>I'm trying to find a way of searching databases for proteins (ideally from

ATLAS will do exactly this.
Get the CD-ROM from PIR. The program ATLAS runs on VAX/VMS, VAX/ULTRIX,
Sun, SGI, Mac, and PC.
Use the command SELECT which, at the moment, is not documented...
ATLAS> select
Expression: MW
Range: 100000-180000
You get the answer in a matter of seconds.
Good luck,
Jean-Loup
