Detailed Description

class definition for a profile-profile scoring scheme for comparing two sequence profiles using the DP city-block distance.

Detailed: Simply based on comparing single profiles from two protein

sequences by computing the sum of P(A) - P(B) for all matching probabilities in the profiles A and B. Also includes with affine gap penalties of the form penalty = A + Bk, where A represents the penalty for starting a gap, and B represents the penalty for extending a previously opened gap by k characters.
