A challenging problem in bioinformatics is the detection of residues that account for protein function specificity, not only in order to gain deeper insight in the nature of functi...
Background: Computer programs for the generation of multiple sequence alignments such as "Clustal W" allow detection of regions that are most conserved among many sequen...
