Average score for different classes of conserved residues. The classes were clustered by scores from vectors where the conserved residues in the vectors i) were identical, ii) had a positive BLOSUM62 score, iii) had a BLOSUM62 score of zero, and iv) had a negative BLOSUM62 score. The cutoff for the conserved residues are shown on the X-axis and the Z-score is shown on the Y-axis. A residue is considered conserved to a certain degree if it has a value in the profile vector above the cutoff. The solid bold lines are the scores for ProfNet_S, while the dotted lines are the scores for prob_score.
