  Substitution matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Substitution matrices are usually seen in the context of amino acid or DNA sequence alignment, where the similarity between sequences depends on the mutation rates as represented in the matrix.
The simplest possible substitution matrix would be one in which each amino acid is considered maximally similar to itself, but not able to transform into any other amino acid.
One of the first amino acid substitution matrices, the PAM (Percent Accepted Mutation) matrix was developed by Margaret Dayhoff in the 1970s.

 Matrix and Gap Costs
A key element in evaluating the quality of a pairwise sequence alignment is the "substitution matrix", which assigns a score for aligning any possible pair of residues.
The theory of amino acid substitution matrices is described in [1], and applied to DNA sequence comparison in [2].
In general, different substitution matrices are tailored to detecting similarities among sequences that are diverged by differing degrees [1-3].

This differs from the penalty matrix versions (see the matrix option below), where one score is assigned to a given letter match regardless of its position in the sequence.
Programs that use a substitution matrix (i.e., those beginning with `m') use parameter matrix as the name of the substitution score matrix file.

To derive structure-dependent substitution matrices, multiple sequence alignments are also needed as well as a description of the 3D structure at each position in the alignment [15,17].
This matrix, referred to as EvDTree0, is simply derived from the structural superimpositions in the learning data set and is thus similar to other structure-derived substitution matrices [36].
Comparison with structure-dependent substitution matrices obtained by other groups is not as simple as for standard substitution matrices, because we must make sure that we compute the structural environment exactly the same way that was used for generating the matrices.

One matrix was derived using original eight secondary structure states assignment by DSSP, another using three states.
In the data set used such helices were not substituted to all other secondary structure elements, so they are excluded from the eight state matrix.

A family in the selection network is a cluster of motifs that are interconnected via high or neutral substitution rate arcs.
The number inside the cell indicates the substitution rate when the neighbor has the nucleotide associated with the row in the position associated with the column, and all other motif nucleotides are unchanged.
On the other hand, several substitutions that lead to the consensus appear with high rates, suggesting the possibility of motif optimization toward the preferable binding site.

The first is a Dirichlet mixture substitution matrix (DIMSUM) analogous to ordinary amino acid substitution matrices, but in which the scores represent probabilities of substituting profile columns for one another.
The second scoring method is a combination of an amino acid substitution matrix and a matrix that represents the probability of predicted secondary structure in one profile (the CASP target) aligning to known secondary structure in the PDB entry.
This matrix (SSAAC) was also developed from structure alignments by determining the substitution rates of predicted secondary structure in one protein in each structural alignment versus known secondary structure in the other protein.

In a standard substitution matrix, such as BLOSUM62, the substitution of one amino acid with another is associated with a single score.
Position-specific scoring matrix or HMMs profiles, in its simplest form, may consist of a set of 20 substitution scores at each position along the motif - one for each of the amino acids.
The most probable path through the HMM (i.e., which transitions were taken and which residues were emitted at match and insert states) taken to generate a sequence similar to the new sequence determines the similarity score.

 Benefits of a Generalized Profile Syntax for Biomolecular Sequence Motifs
The substitution matrix as well as the gap-scores are valid for all positions of the alignment.
For the alignment of a profile to a sequence, no substitution matrix is needed, the information of the matrix is usually used in the construction of a profile.
The simplest profile can thus be created from one sequence and one substitution matrix: the matrix is applied to each position of the sequence and gives a score for every possible residue in the alignment.
