Chapter 6, Problem 7P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The alignment score for the alignment of the given two short sequences according to the given condition is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The organic compounds that contain amine $\left({\text{-NH}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ and carboxyl $\left(\text{-COOH}\right)$ functional groups with a side chain $\left(\text{-R}\right)$ are known as amino acids. Proteins are the biomolecules which are composed of the long chain of amino acid residues. In two sequences of amino acids, when all the gap insertions are fixed that is alignment is fixed then the alignment score is determined.
