Local comparison of protein structures highlights cases of convergent evolution in analogous functional sites
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...

Comparison of PGH2 binding site in prostaglandin synthases
Background: Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) is a common precursor for the synthesis of five different Prostanoids via specific Prostanoid Synthases. The binding of this substrate with the...

Conserved residue clusters at protein-protein interfaces and their use in binding site identification
Background: Biological evolution conserves protein residues that are important for structure and function. Both protein stability and function often require a certain degree of st...
