A key challenge in phosphoproteomic studies is to distinguish functionally relevant phosphorylation sites from potentially 'silent' phosphorylation. Considering that relevant phosphorylation sites are expected to be better conserved during evolution than overall Serine, Threonine and Tyrosine (S/ T/ Y) residues, we asked whether this can be directly demonstrated through statistic analysis, using a large experimental dataset.
