What the meaning of Blosum1-10

[wevxman]

Hi!

Thanks for such a wonderful package. I have a question of the function blosumIndices. After inputting a peptide sequence, I would get 10 values named Blosum1-10. What's the meaning of these values?

Hope your answer, it would help a lot!

Thanks!

Hi @wevxman,

Thanks for using Peptides, BLOSUM1 to BLOSUM10 are the (Table 5) first 10 BLOSUM62-Derived Indices reported by Georgiev, Alexander G. "Interpretable numerical descriptors of amino acid space." Journal of Computational Biology 16.5 (2009): 703-723.

Best wishes,

Daniel
