چکیده

SUMMARY A web-based application to analyze protein amino acids conservation-Consensus Sequence (ConSSeq) is presented. ConSSeq graphically represents information about amino acid conservation based on sequence alignments reported in homology-derived structures of proteins. Beyond the relative entropy for each position in the alignment, ConSSeq also presents the consensus sequence and information about the amino acids, which are predominant at each position of the alignment. ConSSeq is part of the STING Millennium Suite and is implemented as a Java Applet.

The ConSurf-HSSP database: the mapping of evolutionary conservation among homologs onto PDB structures.

The HSSP (Homology-Derived Secondary Structure of Proteins) database provides multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) for proteins of known three-dimensional (3D) structure in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The database also contains an estimate of the degree of evolutionary conservation at each amino acid position. This estimate, which is based on the relative entropy, correlates with the functional...

Discovering Empirically Conserved Amino Acid Substitution Groups in Databases of Protein Families

This paper introduces a method for identifying empirically conserved amino acid substitution groups. In contrast with existing approaches that view amino acid substitution as a pairwise phenomenon, the method presented here identifies conserved groups of amino acids using a data structure called a conditional distribution matrix. The conditional distribution matrix extends the concept of a pair...

STING Millennium: a web-based suite of programs for comprehensive and simultaneous analysis of protein structure and sequence

STING Millennium Suite (SMS) is a new web-based suite of programs and databases providing visualization and a complex analysis of molecular sequence and structure for the data deposited at the Protein Data Bank (PDB). SMS operates with a collection of both publicly available data (PDB, HSSP, Prosite) and its own data (contacts, interface contacts, surface accessibility). Biologists find SMS use...
