of multiple sequences are used to indicate which regions of each sequence are homologous.

Identity, similarity, and conservation

The term "percent homology" is often used to mean "sequence similarity", that is the percentage of identical residues (percent identity), or the percentage of residues conserved with similar physicochemical properties (percent similarity), e.g. leucine and isoleucine, is usually used to "quantify the homology." Based on the definition
