SDPhound, a Mutual Information-Based Method to Investigate Specificity-Determining Positions

Considerable importance in molecular biophysics is attached to influencing by mutagenesis the specific properties of a protein family. The working hypothesis is that mutating residues at few selected positions can affect specificity. Statistical analysis of homologue sequences can identify putative...
