Figure 3. Information Loss.

Conditional entropy for uniform input distribution over amino acids for different values of ω and κ = 1.0. On the left ω = 0.3, the protein-coding frame as well as frame −2 are protected, which results in a slower information loss than for the other reading frames. On the right ω = 3.0, we see the opposite scenario. At the black dotted line, half of the information is lost.
