[edit] percent?

I thought the way I learned it is that it was PERCENT Accepted Mutation, is that something else? --Frenkmelk 13:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

That is correct it is percent accepted mutation, if there are no objections will move the page in a week's time. And it is not 1 point mutation per 100 amino acids. it differs from protein to protein. for proteins like Histones the PAMs are much lower than other proteins.Kaushal mehta 15:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I checked the paper of Dayhoff, Shwartz and Orcutt "A Model Evolutionary Change in Proteins" and at page 3, section "Mutation Probability Matrix for the Evolutionary Distance of One PAM" it is written “mutation probability matrix” Momet (talk) 10:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
