Abstract
An attempt of sequence selection is made for multiple alignments of transmembrane proteins in order to detect the structural similarity in the protein families. Treatment for the sequence selection, which is based on the pairwise sequence identities, is applied to ten sequence data sets of functional group of transmembrane proteins extracted from SWISS-PROT. The treatment excludes the sequences with low sequence identity from the divergent data sets effectively. Obtained multiple alignments are evaluated using two newly developed indices. The selected sequences, which are well aligned with few inserted gaps, seem to contain enough information for extracting the structural features of transmembrane functional groups.
