Evolution of protein surfaces, as represented via Structuprint figures. a–c: Plastocyanin orthologs from Spinacia oleracea, Ulva pertusa, and Ulva prolifera, respectively. d Chloroplastic fructose 1,6-biphosphatase from Spinacia oleracea. The colour depth denotes the FASA_H value across each map, with darker areas having higher values of the descriptor. Despite the obvious conservation of surface shape and hydrophobicity, 2D maps can distinguish even slight differences among evolutionarily related proteins.
