Abstract excerpt
The role of conserved proline residues in fibronectin type III (fnIII) domains is investigated. Surprisingly, none of the standard set of explanations for residue conservation applies. The proline residues are not apparently conserved for function, or stability, or to nucleate folding, or to promote stabilising interactions across domain boundaries. However, when the most highly conserved proline residues are...
