====Sequence Colored by Conservation====
When ConSurf's colors are applied to the 436 amino acids in the sequence of enolase (based on a multiple sequence alignment containing 150 sequences), this is the result:

Notice that the conserved residues are scattered around the sequence with no obvious pattern. However, when the same <scene name='Introduction_to_Evolutionary_Conservation/Enolase_with_consurf_colors/1'>colors are applied to the amino acids in the 3D structure</scene>, they form a conserved patch around the catalytic site (marked with a <span style="background:black; color:#00ff00;">'''&nbsp;zinc ion colored green&nbsp;'''</span>.
