===Evolutionary Conservation===
Patches of highly conserved amino acids in a homology model can be very informative, as such patches indicate functional sites.
*Go to the ConSurf Server: [http://consurf.tau.ac.il ConSurf.tau.ac.il].
*Click ''Amino Acids''.
*Click YES there is a known protein structure.
*Click ''Choose File'' to upload your homology model. Click ''Next''.
*Select chain A.
*Select NO you have not prepared a Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) that you wish to upload.
*Change ''number of iterations'' to 1.
*Check 'Let me select the sequences'. Leave all other settings at their defaults.
*Enter a job title and your email address, then click the ''Submit'' button. The first step, gathering similar sequences, typically takes less than 5 minutes.
*When the sequences are gathered, you will see <font color="green">SELECT SEQUENCES</font>.
