# Obtains the protein sequence for the specified PDB code (or uploaded PDB file) and chain.
# Obtains the protein sequence for the specified PDB code (or uploaded PDB file) and chain.
# Gathers closely related sequences from Swiss-Prot (or a larger database that you specify) with a PSI-BLAST search. E value cutoff<ref name="evalue" />, number of iterations, and number of sequences to use are configurable.
# Gathers closely related sequences from UNIREF90 (or another database that you specify) with a PSI-BLAST search. E value cutoff<ref name="evalue" />, number of iterations, and number of sequences to use are configurable.
# Filters the sequences, by default eliminating those redundant at 95% or higher identity with each other, and those with less than 35% sequence identity to the query sequence. These percentages are adjustable.

#Optionally enables the user to manually select which sequences will be used, from a list with checkboxes. In particular, this enables users to limit the analysis to proteins having the same function as the protein of interest (see  [[#Limiting ConSurf Analysis to Proteins of a Single Function|above]]).
