About this document
Amino Acid Substitution Scoring Matrix by rajkumarlodh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses two algorithms for comparing biological sequences - MPsrch and BLAST. MPsrch is a true implementation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm but is slower than BLAST. BLAST is a heuristic modification of Smith-Waterman that is orders of magnitude faster, though not guaranteed to find an optimal alignment. It is the most commonly used sequence similarity search tool and is available on the NCBI website.
