  1. a) The ar/R filter is defined by four amino acid residues: one in helix 2, one in helix 5 and two in loop E b) Protein names written in bold are MIPs with studied substrate specificities used as reference. They are chosen based on the similarity of their ar/R filter to the ar/R filters of the members within the group c)The MIPCs have very diverse ar/R filters, making it hard to find a reference. Therefore two MIPs with ar/R filters somewhat similar to those of the MIPCs are displayed.
