trying to get direct URLs for Gramene proteins using standard identifiers

[Erich Schwarz]

Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am trying to generate reliable URLs for proteins in Gramene.
This isn't easy.  For instance, the protein identified by the
standard (Uniprot)  identification number Q75IR5 can only be
directly accessed by this URL:

    http://www.gramene.org/db/protein/protein_search?protein_id=119307

even though "119307" matches no obvious identification system.

    For the time being I can address this by not linking to Gramene,
but instead linking to sites like:

    http://us.expasy.org/cgi-bin/niceprot.pl?Q75IR5

However, I would prefer to be able to make such direct links to
Gramene itself.  If that was possible, it'd be good!
