蛋白质序列比对已成为分子生物学家的重要工具。局部比对通常是借助于“替代分数矩阵”来构建的,该矩阵指定了对每对氨基酸残基进行比对的分数。多年来,基于各种各样的原理,提出了许多不同的替代矩阵。然而,统计结果表明,任何这样的矩阵都是隐含的“对数概率”矩阵,对氨基酸残基对具有特定的目标分布。根据信息论,可以用比特来表示替换矩阵的分数,并且可以看出不同的矩阵更适合于不同的目的。最广泛用于蛋白质序列比较的基质是PAM-250基质。对于数据库搜索,PAM-120矩阵通常更合适,而对于两个具有疑似同源性的特定蛋白质的比较,PAM-200矩阵则更合适。讨论的例子包括脂载蛋白、人α 1b糖蛋白、囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节剂和珠蛋白。
Protein sequence alignments have become an important tool for molecular biologists. Local alignments are frequently constructed with the aid of a “substitution score matrix” that specifies a score for aligning each pair of amino acid residues. Over the years, many different substitution matrices have been proposed, based on a wide variety of rationales. Statistical results, however, demonstrate that any such matrix is implicitly a “log-odds” matrix, with a specific target distribution for aligned pairs of amino acid residues. In the light of information theory, it is possible to express the scores of a substitution matrix in bits and to see that different matrices are better adapted to different purposes. The most widely used matrix for protein sequence comparison has been the PAM-250 matrix. It is argued that for database searches the PAM-120 matrix generally is more appropriate, while for comparing two specific proteins with suspected homology the PAM-200 matrix is indicated. Examples discussed include the lipocalins, human α1B-glycoprotein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and the globins.
