# Protein Property Comparison

> Cross-Species Protein Comparison - Compare proteins across species: get orthologs from NCBI, compute properties for each, and compare similarity. Use this skill for comparative biology tasks involving get gene orthologs calculate protein sequence properties calculate smiles similarity get homology id. Combines 4 tools from 3 SCP server(s).

# Cross-Species Protein Comparison

**Discipline**: Comparative Biology | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 3

## Description

Compare proteins across species: get orthologs from NCBI, compute properties for each, and compare similarity.

## Tools Used

- **`get_gene_orthologs`** from `ncbi-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/9/Origene-NCBI`
- **`calculate_protein_sequence_properties`** from `server-2` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool`
- **`calculate_smiles_similarity`** from `server-2` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/2/DrugSDA-Tool`
- **`get_homology_id`** from `ensembl-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/12/Origene-Ensembl`

## Workflow

1. Get orthologs from NCBI
2. Calculate properties for human protein
3. Calculate properties for mouse ortholog
4. Get Ensembl homology data

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "gene_id": 7157
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. Get orthologs from NCBI
2. Calculate properties for human protein
3. Calculate properties for mouse ortholog
4. Get Ensembl homology data

## Usage Example

> **Note:** Replace `sk-b04409a1-b32b-4511-9aeb-22980abdc05c` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).
