In order for ''Proteopedia'' to be able to highlight functional sites, the authors of the atomic coordinate file must have defined these sites when the file was published. Often, authors may not have defined known functional sites when they publish their atomic coordinate file. Sometimes, the structure may have been determined before functional sites were known, and hence they will be absent in the atomic coordinate file. Thus, the absence of green links for ''Sites'' does not mean that there are no functional sites.

Of course, in ''Proteopedia'', when a known functional site was not included in the atomic coordinate file, it is relatively easy to add a green link that shows it.
