The twenty protein coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine. Amino acid metabolic costs differ similarly, constraining their incorporation into proteins. On the other hand, sequence diversity is necessary for protein folding, function and evolution. Here we present a simple model for a cost-diversity trade-off postulating that natural proteomes minimize amino acid metabolic flux while maximizing sequence entropy. The model explains the relative abundances of amino acids across a diverse set of proteomes. We found that the data is remarkably well explained when the cost function accounts for amino acid chemical decay. More than one hundred proteomes reach comparable solutions to the trade-off by different combinations of cost and diversity. Quantifying the interplay between proteome size and entropy shows that proteomes can get optimally large and diverse.

In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third 00-20. The or
dinal number follows from the positions of belonging codons, i.e. their digrams (or doublets). The reading itself is a reading in quaternary numbering system if four bases possess the values within a specific logical square: A = 0, C = 1, G = 2, U = 3. By this, all splittings, distinctions and classifications of AAs appear to be in accordance to atom and nucleon number balance as well as to the other physico-chemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and polarity.
A molecular dynamics calculation of the amino acid polar requirement is presented and used to score the canonical genetic code. Monte Carlo simulation shows that this computational polar requirement has been optimized by the canonical genetic code mo
re than any previously-known measure. These results strongly support the idea that the genetic code evolved from a communal state of life prior to the root of the modern ribosomal tree of life.
This paper presents, for the first time, four diversity types of protein amino acids. The first type includes two amino acids (G, P), both without standard hydrocarbon side chains; the second one four amino acids, as two pairs [(A, L), (V, I)], all w
ith standard hydrocarbon side chains; the third type comprises the six amino acids, as three pairs [(F, Y), (H, W), (C, M)], two aromatic, two hetero aromatic and two hetero non-aromatic); finally, the fourth type consists of eight amino acids, as four pairs [(S, T), (D, E), (N, Q), (K, R)], all with a functional group which also exists in amino acid functional group (wholly presented: H2N-.CH-COOH; separately: OH, COOH, CONH2, NH2). The insight into existence of four types of diversity was possible only after an insight into the existence of some very new arithmetical regularities, which were so far unknown. Also, as for showing these four types was necessary to reveal the relationships between several key harmonic structures of the genetic code (which we presented in our previous works), this paper is also a review article of the authors researches of the genetic code. By this, the review itself shows that the said harmonic structures are connected through the same (or near the same) chemically determined amino acid pairs, 10 pairs out of the 190 possible.
The probability distribution of sequences with maximum entropy that satisfies a given amino acid composition at each site and a given pairwise amino acid frequency at each site pair is a Boltzmann distribution with $exp(-psi_N)$, where the total inte
raction $psi_N$ is represented as the sum of one body and pairwise interactions. A protein folding theory based on the random energy model (REM) indicates that the equilibrium ensemble of natural protein sequences is a canonical ensemble characterized by $exp(-Delta G_{ND}/k_B T_s)$ or by $exp(- G_{N}/k_B T_s)$ if an amino acid composition is kept constant, meaning $psi_N = Delta G_{ND}/k_B T_s +$ constant, where $Delta G_{ND} equiv G_N - G_D$, $G_N$ and $G_D$ are the native and denatured free energies, and $T_s$ is the effective temperature of natural selection. Here, we examine interaction changes ($Delta psi_N$) due to single nucleotide nonsynonymous mutations, and have found that the variance of their $Delta psi_N$ over all sites hardly depends on the $psi_N$ of each homologous sequence, indicating that the variance of $Delta G_N (= k_B T_s Delta psi_N)$ is nearly constant irrespective of protein families. As a result, $T_s$ is estimated from the ratio of the variance of $Delta psi_N$ to that of a reference protein, which is determined by a direct comparison between $DeltaDelta psi_{ND} (simeq Delta psi_N)$ and experimental $DeltaDelta G_{ND}$. Based on the REM, glass transition temperature $T_g$ and $Delta G_{ND}$ are estimated from $T_s$ and experimental melting temperatures ($T_m$) for 14 protein domains. The estimates of $Delta G_{ND}$ agree well with their experimental values for 5 proteins, and those of $T_s$ and $T_g$ are all within a reasonable range. This method is coarse-grained but much simpler in estimating $T_s$, $T_g$ and $DeltaDelta G_{ND}$ than previous methods.
