Additional studies were done to investigate the FH and FHL-1 binding sites on the protein. As with previous research, areas of high conservation were investigated due to their relationship with upholding the structure and function of the protein | Additional studies were done to investigate the FH and FHL-1 binding sites on the protein. As with previous research, areas of high conservation were investigated due to their relationship with upholding the structure and function of the protein <ref name="Cordes 06">PMID: 16530476</ref>. Researchers examined highly conserved areas of amino acid sequences along the <scene name='SB2013_L01gr6/Pocket_region/1'>cleft region</scene> of the protein. They saw that the majority of these regions clustered on a highly-exposed region of the protein. | ||
