Construction of Substitution matrices BLOSUM BLOCKS SUBSTITUTION MATRIX PAM POINT ACCEPTED MUTATIONS
Substitution matrices Substitution matrix contains values proportional to the probability that amino acid A mutates into amino acid B for all pairs of amino acids through a period of evolution Substitution matrices are constructed from a large and diverse sample of sequence alignments
How to construct substitution matrices Multiple alignment of well studies gene sequences from different species use orthologs: functionally similar observed substitutions tend to preserve functions minimal gaps
How to construct substitution matrices ? Tabulate substitutions A to A: 9867 times A to R: 2 times A to N: 9 times etc….

Construction of Substitution matrices BLOSUM
How to construct substitution matrices ? Substitution matrix score = Log Observed mutation rate in alignment Expected random mutation rate
How do we find the random mutation rate?
The random mutation rate compute the overall occurrence of an amino acid in a protein database
The random mutation rate compute the overall occurrence of an amino acid in a protein database http://www.ebi.ac.uk/swissprot/sptr_stats/index.html
The random mutation rate Example: Expected random mutation rate is 1 in 10000 and observed mutation rate of W to R is 1 in 10 Score = log (0.1/0.0001) = log (1000) = +3

PAM matrices [1 point mutation per 100 amino acids] Point Accepted Mutations [1 point mutation per 100 amino acids] does not take into account different evolutionary rates between conserved and non-conserved regions
PAM1 is 1% average change in amino acids
Why use substitution matrices?????
Why use substitution matrices? Database searches
Database searching
Database searching
Database searching Query Sequence; Database sequences
Database searching: Filtering Dynamic programming is computationally expensive Apply DP to sequence pairs that are likely to be similar find short words: query-database DNA 7-28bases (BLAST?) PROTEIN 3 amino acids (BLAST?)
BLAST Basic Local Alignment Search Tool Heuristic method?
Blast output parameter E value
E value number of alignments one can expect see by chance. Number of alignments having the same or greater score. Dependent on size of database and length of query seq.
