Suppose PAM250 is the standard matrix used to compare protein sequences between mice and rats. What would be a more appropriate matrix to compare protein sequences between rats and humans – PAM300 or PAM150? Why? What is the underlying (evolutionary) assumption?

Calculate the NW dynamic programming matrix and an optimal alignment for protein sequences HEAGAWGHEE and PAWHEAE, scoring using a PAM250 matrix with a gap penalty of -5. GLOBAL ALIGNMENT
Adi S.
Many protein sequences have separate domains. Consider a protein that has one domain that evolves rapidly and a second domain that evolves slowly. In performing a pairwise alignment with another protein sequence, would you use two separate alignments with scoring matrices such as PAM40 and PAM250, or would you select one "intermediate" matrix? Why? Please present your reasoning process.
