For the identification of newly sequenced proteins it is necessary to have a large stock of known proteins for comparison. In this paper we present an automatically generated protein sequence database. The translation program introduced allows a periodical translation of every new release of the EMBL database. Possible errors of the translation are discussed as well as the reliability of the nucleotide sequence data, which turns out to be quite good. A comparison of our translated database with some established ones is given.
