Descriptor English: Consensus Sequence
Descriptor Spanish: Secuencia de Consenso
Descriptor secuencia de consenso
Scope note: Secuencia teórica representativa de un nucleótido o un aminoácido, en la que cada nucleótido o aminoácido es el que aparece más frecuentemente en aquel lugar en las diferentes secuencias que se dan en la naturaleza. Este término también se refiere a una secuencia real que se aproxima al consenso teórico. Una SECUENCIA CONSERVADA conocida se representa mediante una secuencia de consenso. Las estructuras de proteínas supersecundarias comúnmente observadas (MOTIVOS DE AMINOÁCIDOS) suelen estar constituidas por secuencias conservadas.

Scope note: A theoretical representative nucleotide or amino acid sequence in which each nucleotide or amino acid is the one which occurs most frequently at that site in the different sequences which occur in nature. The phrase also refers to an actual sequence which approximates the theoretical consensus. A known CONSERVED SEQUENCE set is represented by a consensus sequence. Commonly observed supersecondary protein structures (AMINO ACID MOTIFS) are often formed by conserved sequences.
