Homework #5

1.  Create your own scoring matrix for protein sequence comparisons.  For example, the matrix may be designed to penalize hydrophobic amino acids. It is advisable to use one of the pre-existing BLOSUM or PAM matrices as a template to build your matrix.  Show that your scoring matrix gives a logical dotter output for protein sequences of your choice. Print a hard copy of your scoring matrix, your protein sequences and the dotter output using your scoring matrix. Explain the rationale for the scoring matrix that you create.
