Alignment global

Figure 2 shows a global alignment of selected thionin sequences. The background color for a given residue indicates the degree of conservation of that residue in a particular position in the sequence. It is clear that thionins are highly conserved over different species. Based on their conserved sequences and similar three-dimensional structures it is reasonable to assume a common mode of action for all thionins. 

Figure 2 A global alignment of selected peptides from the thionin family reveals the similarities In their sequences. Increasing redness of the background Indicates higher scores, that Is, higher probability of the respective residue at that position (B Asp or Asn, Z Glu or Gin).

There are two approaches of sequence alignments A global alignment compares similarity across the full stretch of sequences, while a local alignment searches for regions of similarity in parts of the sequences. 

Global Alignment. In this approach (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970), a 2D matrix is constructed by comparing two sequences that are placed along the x- and the y-axes, respectively (Table 11.3). Cells representing identities are scored 1, and those with mismatches are scored 0 to populate the 2D array with 0 s and l s.

The possibility of optical biaxiality should be considered whenever molecules (or side chains) have a lath-like or "sanidic" conformation that might support correlated rotations about their chain axes. If the suggested tests involving optical microscopy are impractical or inconclusive, one must resort to characterization by complementary techniques. For example, optical biaxiality can be inferred if there is no preferred orientation of optical extinction directions in a specimen that consists of globally aligned molecules as demonstrated by x-ray or electron diffraction (181-...

Overlaps between dean reads are computed as follows. An overlap between two reads is defined as a global alignment of the reads with the maximum similarity score. Match and difference scores are weighted by base quality values. For efficiency, the computation of an overlap between two reads is restricted to a band of diagonals centered at the start position of the optimal local alignment computed previously. The width of the band is the number of diagonals required to cover the optimal local alignment plus the band expansion size specified by the user.
