Conclusion 
We 
indicated 
that 
the 
alignment 
implementing 
our 
new 
measure, 
intro-
ducing 
entangled 
effects  of two  consecutive 
pairs 
in 
residues,  leads 
to 
a 
significant increase in 
alignment 
accuracy 
to 
other 
six 
methods, 
and 
this 
is 
especially 
apparent 
in 
low 
identity 
range. 
We will 
apply 
our 
new 
technique 
to 
several 
methods 
studying 
life from 
sequences, 
such 
as 
multiple 
alignment, 
motif 
finding 
and 
phylogenetic 
analysis, 
where 
it 
is considered 
that 
the 
residue 
substitutions 
in 
a sequence 
are 
independent 
of 
the 
location.
