Summary

[edit]
Description

A codon position is biased if the elliptical trace is: 1) not centered on the center of the (square) graph frame, and / or 2) contains a smaller-than-random volume. First position - dashed. Second position - solid.

The strongest components (bias) for the encoding of anino acid residues are, in order:

C in 2nd position = small size, medium hydropathy

U in 2nd position = average size, hydrophobic

A in 2nd position = average size, hydrophilic

U in 1st position = not hydrophilic

The y-axis is accurate (cubic Angstroms), but the x-axis could have some error from estimates of hydropathy.
