A conservative replacement (also called a conservative mutation or a conservative substitution or a homologous replacement) is an amino acid replacement in a protein that changes a given amino acid to a different amino acid with similar biochemical properties (e.g. charge, hydrophobicity and size). [1][2] Conversely, a radical replacement, or ...

Mutations that are fixed often during evolution (the type of mutations that are usually labelled as conservative, neutral, nearly-neutral, quiet, etc.) can actually modulate a variety of relevant protein properties.
It is commonly recognised that many evolutionary changes of amino acid sequence in proteins are conservative: a substitution of one amino acid residue for another has a far greater chance of being accepted if the two residues are similar in properties.
30 gru 2021 · Mutations were classified in conservative and non-conservative based on the probability to be accepted during the evolution according to the Point Accepted Mutation substitution matrices and on the similarity of the encoding codons.
1 cze 2001 · By analysing the surface composition of a set of protein 3D structures, complemented with predicted surface compositional information for homologous proteins, we have found significant evidence for a layer composition of protein structures.
In the innermost and outermost parts of proteins there is a net negative charge, while the middle has a net positive charge. In addition, our findings indicate that the concept of conservative mutation needs substantial revision, e.g. very different spatial preferences were found for glutamic acid and aspartic acid.
