ProfileGrids as a new visual representation of large multiple sequence alignments: a case study of the RecA protein family

Table 2 Conservation of DNA binding residues

The first column lists E. coli RecA residues directly involved in DNA binding and those residues proposed (*) to interact with DNA [29]. The "% Freq." column reports the percent frequency of the indicated amino acid among 300 RecA homologs. The last column shows the percent frequency of other residues at that position of the alignment. See text for a description of conservation at these positions among eukaryotic and archaeal RecA homologs.
