Remember that you can touch any residue with the mouse in the ''Evolutionary Conservation'' scene in Proteopedia (in Jmol), and its identity will be displayed after a few seconds. This works best with spinning turned off.

Every structure in ''Proteopedia'' has a link to be displayed in [http://firstglance.jmol.org FirstGlance in Jmol]. There, you can use the ''Find'' dialog to enter the name of an amino acid, e.g. ''glycine'' or ''proline'', and the positions of all of the specified amino acids will be highlighted. You can then visualize their distribution in the 3D structure.

This strategy can also be utilized when viewing the protein colored by conservation, using the FirstGlance links in [[ConSurfDB_vs._ConSurf|either ConSurf server]].
