A table that lists the frequencies of each amino acid in each position of protein sequence. Frequencies are calculated from multiple alignments of sequences containing a domain of interest. See also PSSM. (NCBI).
Matrix of position-specific amino acid weights in which each position provides a score of the likelihood of finding a particular amino acid at a specific position in the sequence. Fingerprints are sets of conserved motifs that are modelled using profiles. Used in clustering methods based on multiple alignments (Martinez 2011)
