Conserved Unique Peptide Patterns (CUPP) is a new approach for sequence analysis employing conserved peptide patterns for determination of similarities between proteins.

CUPP performs unsupervised clustering of proteins for formation of protein groups and can be used for fast annotation of enzyme protein family, subfamily and EC function of carbohydrate-active enzymes.
