Abstract: | Background When accurate models for the divergent evolution of protein sequences are integrated with complementary biological information,
such as folded protein structures, analyses of the combined data often lead to new hypotheses about molecular physiology.
This represents an excellent example of how bioinformatics can be used to guide experimental research. However, progress in
this direction has been slowed by the lack of a publicly available resource suitable for general use. |
