a Prediction of conserved residues through Shannon entropy measurements on a multiple sequence alignment of modular type I DH domains taken from ClusterCAD. Low Shannon entropy measurements correspond to low levels of amino acid substitution. The secondary structure of the FluA DH M1 was used to give a relative position within the MSA. Regions highlighted in red display the His/Asp catalytic dyad and the regions highlighted in yellow correspond the two most highly variable regions amongst the known modular type I DH domain structures. b Close-up of the region between α3 and β11. The overall height of the stack indicates the sequence conservation at that position (colour figure online)
