skbio.alignment.local_pairwise_align_protein(seq1, seq2, gap_open_penalty=11, gap_extend_penalty=1, substitution_matrix=None)[source]¶

Locally align exactly two protein seqs with Smith-Waterman

State: Experimental as of 0.4.0.

Parameters:

seq1 : Protein The first unaligned sequence. seq2 : Protein The second unaligned sequence. gap_open_penalty : int or float, optional Penalty for opening a gap (this is substracted from previous best alignment score, so is typically positive). gap_extend_penalty : int or float, optional Penalty for extending a gap (this is substracted from previous best alignment score, so is typically positive). substitution_matrix: 2D dict (or similar), optional Lookup for substitution scores (these values are added to the previous best alignment score); default is BLOSUM 50.

Returns:

tuple TabularMSA object containing the aligned sequences, alignment score (float), and start/end positions of each input sequence (iterable of two-item tuples). Note that start/end positions are indexes into the unaligned sequences.

Notes

Default gap_open_penalty and gap_extend_penalty parameters are derived from the NCBI BLAST Server [R105].

The BLOSUM (blocks substitution matrices) amino acid substitution matrices were originally defined in [R106].
