Structure is function. In this case I think the overall structure is the very similar, what occurs though is that hydrogen bonded sites are available given the various polymorphic residues with accompanying small local structre differences.

I'm sure you know this.

Problem is that sequence homology over a small tract of a big macromolecule does not guarantee structural homology, as I'm sure you also know.
