Abstract excerpt
In this work it is proposed tht in evolution amino acid substitutions implying strong physico chemical and structural differences are more revelant and more frequent that substitutions between similar amino acids. This analysis is made over a group of protein families representing about 10000 substitutions and as examples the evolutionary trees of fibrinopeptides A and calcitonins were constructed and compared.
