Patches of highly conserved residues on the surface of a protein molecular structure are good candidates for [[Site | functional sites]]. Every article in Proteopedia that is '''titled with a [[PDB code]]''' has an ''Evolutionary Conservation'' section below the molecular scene. Clicking '''show''' in the blue ''Evolutionary Conservation'' bar automatically colors all chain in the molecule by evolutionary conservation as calculated by [http://consurfdb.tau.ac.il ConSurfDB].

[[Topic pages]] in Proteopedia (manually-authored pages that typically discuss more than one [[PDB code]]) may also include molecular scenes colored by evolutionary conservation. See below for [[#Examples]] and [[#How to Insert a ConSurf Result Into Proteopedia|Instructions]].
