- Obtain amino acid sequence of 3D chain from PDB file specified by user.
- Run PSI-BLAST to find the most similar sequences in
SWISS-PROT
or
UniProt.
ConSurf uses up to 50 sequences (user can request more) with
E < 0.001.
ConSurfDB
filters
the sequences to reduce redundancy.

- Align sequences with
MUSCLE
(or CLUSTAL-W).
Optionally, user may supply the sequence alignment.
- Construct phylogenetic tree from sequence alignment.
Optionally, user may supply the tree.
- Calculate conservation scores (and confidence intervals)
for each residue in the 3D chain
using a
Bayesian method.
- Conservation scores are normalized (to mean 0, SD 1)
and binned into 9 grades.
- Color the 3D model by conservation grades
in FirstGlance in Jmol or Protein Explorer.
