With the default ConSurf Server result '''APD 1.42''', and with a custom ConSurf Server result '''APD 0.91''', the salt-bridged residues have about '''average''' conservation. With a custom result '''APD 0.48''', the between-chain salt bridges have '''above-average''' conservation (7.6 vs. 6.8), while the within-chain salt bridges have below average conservation (6.3 vs. 6.8). In conclusion, when the multiple sequence alignment is limited to sequences closely related to the query (APD 0.48), '''between-chain salt bridged residues are more conserved than are within-chain salt bridged residues.''' The difference is '''statistically significant''' (p < 0.01<ref name="stats">With APD 0.48, mean conservation of between-chain salt bridged atoms is 7.57 &plusmn; 0.13 SEM. Subtracting 3 SEM (99% confidence limit) gives 7.18. This does not overlap with either 7.16 (the all-salt-bridged atoms mean + 3 SEM) or 6.82 (the mean for NOT between chains salt-bridged atoms + 3 SEM).</ref>).

*Averages are per atom for 44 salt-bridged atom pairs between chains, and 70 within chains.
*Averages are per atom for 88 between-chains salt-bridged atoms, and 140 within chain salt-bridged atoms. SEM's were calculated as standard deviation divided by the square root of the atom counts. Differences for APD 0.48 are statistically significant, p < 0.01<ref name="stats" />.
*Salt bridges are Lys or Arg sidechain nitrogens within 4.0 &Aring; of Asp or Glu sidechain oxygens.
