Ch6 multiple sequence alignment methods
1
Biologists produce high quality multiple sequence alignment by hand usingknowledge of protein sequence evolution.
Automatic multiple sequence alignment?-in probabilistic modeling, scoring function is primary concern, not the alignment algorithm

6.1 What a multiple alignment means

• In principle, there is always an unambiguously correct evolutionary alignment even if the structures diverge
• In practice, an evolutionarily correct alignment can be more difficult to infer than structural alignment
• Our ability to define a single ‘correct’ alignment will vary with the relatedness of the sequences being aligned
• Usually, a small subset of key residues will be identifiable which can be aligned unambiguously almost regardless of the sequence divergence
• We should focus on the subset of columns corresponding to key residues and core structural elements that can be aligned with confidence
