Evaluation of the non-randomness of protein compositions.
A method is described for assessing the non-randomness of protein compositions, based on the chi-squared statistic for the differences between the observed numbers of residues of each type and the numbers expected for a random distribution of codons. The analysis indicates that changes in at least 30% of the residues in natural proteins are selected against.
