ConSurf

Estimates the evolutionary conservation of amino and nucleic acid positions using precise phylogeny.

Key Info

Why It Matters

Applies accurate empirical Bayesian and maximum likelihood methods to identify slowly evolving, structurally critical protein positions.

How to Use

See http://consurf.tau.ac.il/ for documentation and access.

STRC Research Usage

PARTIAL — API timed out. Requires manual web submission of Q7RTU9. Would project conservation scores onto 3D structure — complementary to our flat alignment.

Next Steps

  • Test with STRC E1659A variant
  • Verify API access
  • Document specific results
