Here, we propose a scheme developed through a collaborative approach that considers both sequence and structure, preserves traditional numbering of catalytically important residues (Ser<sup>64</sup>, Lys<sup>67</sup>, Tyr<sup>150</sup>, and Lys<sup>315</sup>), is adaptable to new variants or enzymes yet to be discovered an ...[more]
