Abstract excerpt
We have analysed 108 bacterial proteomes in the KEGG database to explore the variation of amino acid composition with respect to protein function. The ratio between the observed amino acid composition and that predicted based on mononucleotide composition was calculated for each functional category. This indicated whether the compositional variation arose from mutation or selection pressure. The results showed...
