Here is a quick procedure for coloring a protein molecule by evolutionary conservation. This procedure does not necessarily give the highest quality result, but will give you a preliminary result that is often sufficient. If you wish to take it further, see Limiting ConSurf Analysis to Proteins of a Single Function.
- Go to the ConSurf Server.
- Check Amino Acids.
- Check Yes there is a known protein structure.
- Enter your PDB code and click the Next button.
- Choose one chain from the pull-down Chain Identifier menu. (ConSurf can only analyze one chain at a time.)
- Check No you do not have a Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) to upload.
- Don't worry, you can leave all the settings that appear now at their defaults.
- -If you want the server to return your result quickly, reduce Maximum homologs to collect from 150 to 75.
- Enter your email address in the bottom slot! This avoids losing the result and having to do it over.
