FirstGlance automatically detects [[Protein crosslinks|covalent protein crosslinks of six types]], plus disulfide bonds. Tools are provided making it easy to examine each such crosslink in detail. If the PDB file has been processed by [[ConSurf/Index|ConSurf]], it is easy to see the levels of conservation of the crosslinked residues.

An example is isopeptide bond-linked chains of ubiquitin. [[7cap]] is an isopeptide-linked trimer of ubiquitin. Here is one ConSurf result (300 sequences in the MSA with an APD of 1.15):
An example is isopeptide bond-linked chains of ubiquitin. [[7cap]] is an isopeptide-linked trimer of ubiquitin. The carboxy-terminal Gly76 forms an isopeptide bond with Lys48. Here is one ConSurf result (300 sequences in the MSA with an APD of 1.15):

Then, proceed as follows:
<table class="wikitext"><tr><td width="300">
1. Click on one of the crosslink bonds.
2. Check the box to apply ConSurf Colors.
3. Touch a residue to pop up a tooltip reporting its ConSurf conservation Grade, as shown in the yellow box on Lys48.
