Something like red highly conserved, all the way to white, not conserved at all... Now, I assume the figure was done by uploading aligned sequnces of several members of a family, and the colouring the generated surface accordingly. Does anyone know a way to do this more elegantly than what I tried doing? ps. I quit colouring them manually after I remebered my protein was 407 aa long...
