Optimality of the genetic code with respect to protein stability and amino-acid frequencies

BACKGROUND: The genetic code is known to be efficient in limiting the effect of mistranslation errors. A misread codon often codes for the same amino acid or one with similar biochemical properties, so the structure and function of the coded protein remain relatively unaltered. Previous studies have...
