Abstract

Density ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino-acids averaged for a lot of proteins in bacteria and archaebacteria is asymmetric. The density ratio is calculated for the proteins over 1,000 types. The reason why the asymmetric ratio can be observed is related to the density ratio of purine and pyrimidine in codon The density ratio of purine and pyrimidine at the center locus of codon is close to that of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino-acids in proteins.
