The method selects sites which are both well conserved and clustered together in space, as inferred from the 3D structures of proteins included in the alignment. We tested the method using 86 alignments from the NCBI CDD database, where the sites of experimentally determined ligand and/or macromolecular interactions are annotated. In agreement with earlier investigations, we found that functional site predictions are most successful when overall background sequence conservation is low, such that sites under evolutionary constraint become apparent. In addition, we found that averaging of conservation values across spatially clustered sites improves predictions under certain conditions: that is, when overall conservation is relatively high and when the site in question involves a large macromolecular binding interface. Under these conditions it is better to look for clusters of conserved sites than to look for particular conserved sites.","lang":"eng"}],"extern":1,"issue":"4","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:48:55Z","publication":"Protein Science","month":"04","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:20:22Z","page":"884 - 892","volume":13,"_id":"864","quality_controlled":0,"title":"Prediction of functional sites by analysis of sequence and structure conservation","author":[{"first_name":"Anna","last_name":"Panchenko","full_name":"Panchenko, Anna R"},{"first_name":"Fyodor","id":"44FDEF62-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Kondrashov","full_name":"Fyodor Kondrashov","orcid":"0000-0001-8243-4694"},{"last_name":"Bryant","full_name":"Bryant, Stephen H","first_name":"Stephen"}],"date_published":"2004-04-01T00:00:00Z","day":"01","type":"journal_article","year":"2004","status":"public"}
