Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alignment that has a higher score according to identity-based alignment scoring.

Concept introduction:

Identity−based alignment scoring is a method to score the identical alignments present in a sequence. The identical amino acids are added while the gaps in the sequence are subtracted to determine the identical score.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The alignment that has a higher score according to the Blosum -62 substitution method.

Concept introduction:

Blosum-62 is a type of substitution matrix that is used to score the replacement of amino acids. A positive score of substitution matrix indicates that substitution of amino acid occurs more frequently while a negative score is rare for substitutions.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
