Using orthologous and paralogous proteins to identify specificity determining residues

Leonid A Mirny, Mikhail S Gelfand Genome Biology 2002, 3:preprint0002-preprint0002.20 (19 February 2002)

Functional specificity of proteins is assumed to be conserved among orthologs and to be different among paralogs. We used this assumption to identify the residues that determine specificity of protein-DNA and protein-ligand recognition and present a method to compute the statistical significance of the predictions.
