<h4>Background</h4>We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples of convergent evolution, we selected only those matching sites composed of structural regions whose residue order is inverted in the relative protein sequences.<h4>Results</h4>A novel case of local analogy was detected between members of the ABC transporter and of the HprK/P families in their ATP binding site.
