Abstract excerpt
The diversity of amino acid residues, at a same position when comparing several aligned polypeptide sequences, may be translated as follows. The way along which a given amino acid, A, is replaced--in average--by another amino acid, B, is characterized by a coefficient linked with the pair A-B. Thus, one given amino acid is given a "set" of 19 coefficients, and the 20 different such sets may be analyzed. This...
