Determining how specificity for a given ligand occurs among sequence and structurally related transporters is a fundamental problem in elucidating facilitated transport. It is likely that the specificity of a transporter for a ligand is defined by the primary amino acid sequence, and that different
Protein function is almost invariably linked with the specific recognition of substrates or endogenous ligands in particular binding pockets; proteins of related function should, therefore, share comparable recognition pockets. On the basis of this idea a new computer method has been developed to de
