The Dayhoff Mutation Data Matrix:
PAM 250 (point accepted
mutation)
An evolutionary distance of 1 PAM
indicates the probability of a
residue mutating during a distance in which 1 point mutation was accepted per 100 residues.
The 250 PAM matrix gives
similarity scores equivalent to 20% matches remaining between two sequences.
The Henikoff and Henikoff BLOSUM matrices:
BLOSUM 62 (BLOcks SUbstitution
Matrix)
A set of substitution matrices
from blockes of aligned sequences in the
BLOCKS database, in order to represent distant relationships more explicitly. 62% or
greater cluster.
