[[2vaa]] contains three chains. Here, (<scene name='39/399854/2vaa_consurf_halos_w274_y159/4'>restore initial scene, ConSurf Server default settings, APD 1.1</scene>) ConSurf colors are applied only to the alpha chain (chain A), while the beta chain (chain B = &beta;-2 microglobulin) and the 8 amino acid peptide (chain P) are shown as gray backbone traces.

Conservation of important residues in the groove is obscured by inclusion in the MSA of proteins with different functions ([[#Example With Multiple Functions|see analysis above]]). The sides of the groove are variable, as expected (enabling it to bind a wide range of peptide sequences). The only groove residue that is conserved at greater than level 6 is '''Tyr159''' (level 8), whose sidechain hydrogen bonds the main-chain oxygen of the amino-terminal peptide residue. Only a handful of surface residues are highly conserved (level 9), including '''Trp274''' involved in binding CD8.
