SMART (a Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool) is an online tool which allows the identification of protein domains and the analysis of domain architecture.
You may use either a Uniprot Ensembl sequence identifier (ID) / accession number (ACC) or the protein sequence itself to perform the SMART analysis service.
Using the accession number or the name of a known protein domain, SMART will allow you to search a particular domain, and give you a detailed description of this domain, along with a diagram showing the results of the significant domains.
The left hand box contains domains that are illustrated in the figure containing information of the name of the domains found followed by their start and end amino acids as well as their E value. The right hand box contains domains not illustrated in the figure but in addition to their name, amino acid start/end, E value, it has a reason for why it is not in the figure above.
