Figure 2. The ML-200 model fitted to KHG.

Figure 2

Each element log-Inline graphic of the log-odds matrix corresponding to (A) single, (B) double, and (C) triple nucleotide changes in the ML-200 model fitted to the 1-PAM KHG codon substitution matrix is plotted against the log-odds log-Inline graphic calculated from KHG. In (D), codon log-exchangeabilities of the 1-PAM KHG codon substitution matrix corresponding to triple nucleotide changes are plotted against the log-odds log-Inline graphic calculated from KHG. The log-exchangeability of the 1-PAM KHG is defined as Inline graphic. Upper triangle, plus, circle, and cross marks show the log-odds values for synonymous pairs and one-, two-, and three-step amino acid pairs, respectively. Log-exchangeabilities for the codon pairs whose instantaneous rates are estimated to be Inline graphic in KHG are shown to be about Inline graphic in this figure. The dotted line in each figure shows the line of equal values between the ordinate and the abscissa.
