The consistency of residues between variations of lipases can be described as the <scene name='Sandbox_40/Evolutionary_conservation/1'>evolutionary conservation</scene> of the protein. As it can be observed from the conservation of individual residues, the residues near the active site and close to the calcium ligand have the highest average conservation.  The conservation of residues becomes more variable the farther away from each active site.
