It is a process by which the amino acid sequences of two proteins are aligned and the extent of similarity between the two is determined . It is a useful way of determining if two proteins are related by evolution. The amino acid residues are relatively more conserved than base pairs in DNA and therefore this method is more appropriate for running comparison between two distantly related species.
