Abstract excerpt
A set of aligned homologous protein sequences is divided into 2 groups consisting of m and n sequences. Each group contains sequences from the most related species. Value of the position variability of homologous proteins sequences is defined as a number of failures to coincide in comparison of all possible m.n pairs of amino acid residues (each from a different group) in that position divided by m.n. The...
