==Limiting ConSurf Analysis to Proteins of a Single Function==

As explained [[#ConSurf-DB Often Obscures Some Functional Sites|above]], the ConSurf-DB ''Evolutionary Conservation'' scene available in Proteopedia often includes proteins with multiple functions. However, the best way to find all functional sites by conservation analysis is to limit the analysis to proteins with a single function. A procedure for doing this follows. In June, 2009, the ConSurf development team is working on a new version that, once released, will enable selection of arbitrary sequences from the PSI-BLAST list.
