Revisiting gap locations in amino acid sequence alignments and a proposal for a method to improve them by introducing solvent accessibility

In comparative modeling, the quality of amino acid sequence alignment still constitutes a major bottleneck in the generation of high quality models of protein three-dimensional (3D) structures. Substantial efforts have been made to improve alignment quality by revising the substitution matrix, intro...
