A Predicted Consensus Structure for the Protein Kinase C2 Homology (C2H) Domain, the Repeating Unit of Synaptotagmin

A Consensus Prediction of the Secondary Structure for the 6-Phospho-beta-D-Galactosidase Superfamily

The prediction method applies automated heuristics to assign surface, interior, active site (tertiary structural information), and parsing residues by analysis of patterns of conservation and variation among homologous protein sequences in light of evolutionary models that interpret amino acid substitutions as the consequence of neutral variation subjected to functional constraints. Secondary structural elements are assigned from patterns in the tertiary structural information.
