In molecular biology, the PRINTS database is a collection of so-called "fingerprints": it provides both a detailed annotation resource for protein families, and a diagnostic tool for newly determined sequences. A fingerprint is a group of conserved motifs taken from a multiple sequence alignment - together, the motifs form a characteristic signature for the aligned protein family. The motifs themselves are not necessarily contiguous in sequence, but may come together in 3D space to define molecular binding sites or interaction surfaces. The particular diagnostic strength of fingerprints lies in their ability to distinguish sequence differences at the clan, superfamily, family and subfamily levels. This allows fine-grained functional diagnoses of uncharacterised sequences, allowing, for example, discrimination between family members on the basis of the ligands they bind or the proteins with which they interact, and highlighting potential oligomerisation or allosteric sites.

Print may refer to:

• Printing, mostly using a printing press, but a process which may also refer to other methods of printmaking
  • Printing press, printing with moveable metal type, see also letterpress printing
  • Publishing, the distribution of printed works or other information
  • Print run, one batch of printing, that is, the number of copies printed by one set-up of a printing press
  • Textile printing
  • 'In print', currently being published; compare out of print
• "Writing in print", printing, printscript or print-writing: a handwriting method using block letters, instead of cursive letters
  • Engraved letters, such as initials, on other materials, such as printed glass
• Printmaking, various processes for producing multiple copies of works of art by printing
  • Old master print, a product of printmaking, such as an engraving, etching or woodcut, in the European tradition, instead of others (e.g., Asian), especially if made before 1830
  • Lithography, taking a mirror-image print from a stone or metal "plate"
  • Photographic printing, the process of making a photo
• The print medium, forms of paper (or sometimes other materials) upon which letters or graphics have been died or engraved, such as books, pamphlets, scrolls and files
• Print output, computer output on a screen or on paper
  • Printer (computing), a device to put ink on paper
  • Print screen, the name of a keyboard key for copying the contents of the screen to somewhere
  • PRINT (command), a shell command of DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows
  • PRINT, a BASIC programming language command that generates text in text modes, derived from the text printing process on teleprinter terminals before refreshing displays
• Release print, a distribution print in film making
• Print (magazine), a bimonthly magazine about visual culture and design
