MATCH-BOX - The Match-Box software proposes protein sequence multiple alignment tools based on strict statistical criteria. The method circumvents the gap penalty requirement: in the Match-Box method, gaps are the result of the alignment and not a governing parameter of the matching procedure. A reliability score is provided below each aligned position. The Match-Box program is particularly suitable for finding and aligning conserved structural motives, in particular in protein core.
