Wide application of modeling of three-dimensional protein structures in biomedical research motivates developing protein sequence alignment computer tools featuring high alignment accuracy and sensitivity to remotely homologous proteins. In this paper, we aim at improving the quality of alignments between sequence profiles, encoded multiple sequence alignments. Modeling profile contexts, fixed-length profile fragments, is engaged to achieve this goal.
