# STRING Database

## Overview

STRING is a comprehensive database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions covering 59M proteins and 20B+ interactions across 5000+ organisms. Query interaction networks, perform functional enrichment, discover partners via REST API for systems biology and pathway analysis.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:
- Retrieving protein-protein interaction networks for single or multiple proteins
- Performing functional enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG, Pfam) on protein lists
- Discovering interaction partners and expanding protein networks
- Testing if proteins form significantly enriched functional modules
- Generating network visualizations with evidence-based coloring
