Abstract excerpt
Certain amino acid residues in a protein, when mutated, change the protein's function. We present an improved method of finding these specificity-determining positions that uses all the protein sequence data available for a family of homologous proteins. We study in detail two families of eukaryotic transcription factors, basic leucine zippers and nuclear receptors, because of the large amount of sequences and...
