Benchling

Benchling Protein API

A Protein is a complex biomolecule entity in Benchling representing immunoglobulins or related therapeutic proteins like T-cell receptors. Proteins are defined by an `ProteinFormat` that specifies their structural organization, with actual sequences provided in domains (see `ProteinDomain`) and chains (see `ProteinChain`). Proteins support versioning through history/fullHistory, allowing tracking of structural changes over time. As registry entities, proteins can have schemas with custom fields, belong to projects and folders, and be linked to studies.
