The proteomic constraint and its role in molecular evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the concept of a "Proteomic Constraint" was introduced to explain the frequency of genetic code deviations in mitochondrial genomes. The Proteomic Constraint was proposed to be proportional to the size of the mitochondrially encoded proteome, hence small proteomes are expected to experience smaller total numbers of errors resulting from genetic code deviations, leading to less likelihood of causing...
