A combinatorial approach to detect coevolved amino acid networks in protein families of variable divergence.

Communication between distant sites often defines the biological role of a protein: amino acid long-range interactions are as important in binding specificity, allosteric regulation and conformational change as residues directly contacting the substrate. The maintaining of functional and structural...
