Variation in structural location and amino acid conservation of functional sites in protein domain families
Background: The functional sites of a protein present important information for determining its cellular function and are fundamental in drug design. Accordingly, accurate methods...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...

The PD-(D/E)XK superfamily revisited: identification of new members among proteins involved in DNA metabolism and functional pre
Background: The PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, initially identified in type II restriction endonucleases and later in many enzymes involved in DNA recombination and repair, is o...

The contrasting properties of conservation and correlated phylogeny in protein functional residue prediction
Background: Amino acids responsible for structure, core function or specificity may be inferred from multiple protein sequence alignments where a limited set of residue types are ...

Bayesian refinement of protein functional site matching
Background: Matching functional sites is a key problem for the understanding of protein function and evolution. The commonly used graph theoretic approach, and other related appro...
