Solvent accessibility, residue charge and residue volume, the three ingredients of a robust amino acid substitution matrix.

Abstract excerpt

Cost measure matrices or different amino acid indices have been widely used for studies in many fields of biology. One major criticism of these studies might be based on the unavailability of an unbiased and yet effective amino acid substitution matrix. Throughout this study we have devised a cost measure matrix based on the solvent accessibility, residue charge, and residue volume indices. Performed analyses on...
