Based on polarity of the amino acids,

A) how would you manually align the followoing two
sequences(gaps are allowed):

VLLVAKKR ITSVVPKR and ILLVKKKLTTVVLPKK

B)Complete the scoring matrix for the alignament of the peptied
sequences in #2 if a match score is 1, mismatch is -1, and the gap
penalty is -1.

C)Align the two sequences acording to the matrix.

d) Membrane lipids in tissue samples obtained from the different
parts of the leg of a reindeer(living in a cold climate) show
different fatty acid compositions. Membrane lipids from tissue near
the hooves contain larger fraction of unsaturated fatty acids as
compared to the lipids from the upper parts of the leg. What might
be the phsyiological significance of this observation?
(hint: Hooves are the most of the time in contact with the cold
ground…)
