Inconsistent Distances in Substitution Matrices can be Avoided by Properly Handling Hydrophobic Residues
The adequacy of substitution matrices to model evolutionary relationships between amino acid sequences can be numerically evaluated by checking the mathematical property of triangle inequality for all triplets of residues. By converting substitution scores into distances, one can verify that a direc...
