Did you know... Color By Mutations This script creates an alignment of two proteins and superimposes them. Aligned residues that are different in the two (i.e. mutations) are highlighted and colored according to their difference in the BLOSUM90 matrix. It is meant to be used for similar proteins, e.g. close homologs or point mutants, to visualize their differences. Example color_by_mutation protein1, protein2 Example: rat trypsin and cow trypsin colored by color_by_mutation. <source lang="python"> created by Christoph Malisi.
