The structure of subtilisin E showing the entropy at each position. The
yellow residues are the most variable sites (2.16 <
s < 3.00, greater than one standard deviation
above the mean), the red residues are moderately variable (1.31 <
s < 2.16, between the mean and one standard
deviation), and the gray residues have below average variability
(s < 1.31). Site saturation experiments should be
directed at yellow positions, whereas the contiguous yellow–red
regions lend themselves to cassette mutagenesis. Figure generated by
using molmol (40).
