In order to identify the sequences that are likely to be important for an enzyme's function I perform a BLAST search and then align the sequences of several orthologs which are 40%-99% similar. Then I go to PyMol, fetch the enzyme of interest, and manually color every amino acid that appears to have been highly conserved throughout the enzyme's evolution.

Is there a method to obtain the sequence similarity results in a format that can be easily transferred into PyMol? I would like to avoid the manual coloring step.
