Evolutionary Conservation is introduced at [[Introduction to Evolutionary Conservation]], and treated in somewhat greater depth in the article [[Conservation, Evolutionary]]. These describe how conservation patterns in 3D can help to identify functional sites in proteins. Proteopedia displays conservation patterns pre-calculated by [http://consurfdb.tau.ac.il ConSurfDB], when available. These are usually based on broad protein families that include sequences of proteins with multiple functions. Consequently, they usually '''obscure conservation''' present in a family of proteins with a single function (see [[Conservation%2C_Evolutionary#Caveats|Caveats]]).

The present article explains how to use options available at the ConSurf Server to reveal conservation within a group of proteins with a single function. The mechanisms utilized by ConSurfDB and ConSurf Servers are also summarized. | ||
