Amino acid compositions contribute to the proteins’ evolution under the influence of their abundances and genomic GC content

Abstract Inconsistent results on the association between evolutionary rates and amino acid composition of proteins have been reported in eukaryotes. However, there are few studies of how amino acid composition can influence evolutionary rates in bacteria. Thus, we constructed linear regression model...
