Figure 2. Unrooted phylogenetic tree of 261 primate MMP peptides. Looped in brown ovals are four major groups supported with biochemistry evidence, and enclosed in red circles are sub-groups based on biochemical properties under certain groups. Phylogenetic analyses were performed by using PhyML v3.3.3 with 1000 bootstraps.
