A New Similarity Measure among Protein Sequences

Protein sequence analysis is an important tool to decode the logic of life. One of the most important similarity measures in this area is the edit distance between amino acids of two sequences. We believe this criterion should be reconsidered because protein features are probably associated more with small peptide fragments than with individual amino acids. In this paper, we design small patterns that are associated with highly conversed regions among a set of protein sequences. These patterns are used analogous to the
