Refining pairwise sequence alignments of membrane proteins by the incorporation of anchors.

The alignment of primary sequences is a fundamental step in the analysis of protein structure, function, and evolution, and in the generation of homology-based models. Integral membrane proteins pose a significant challenge for such sequence alignment approaches, because their evolutionary relations...
