Abstract
A precisely stated algorithm is given for reconstructing phylogenetic relationships from protein amino acid sequence data under the restriction that all distance measures be proper metrics. In conjunction with a general sequence metric, the algorithm is applied to the cytochrome c data used in earlier studies. This application demonstrates the importance of the metric triangle inequality property, results in an ancestral discrimination criterion and suggests that the chemical distance between proteins is linear with genetic coding distance.
