Table 4. Codons corresponding to FCBS-enriched sequence motifs.
| Codon | Amino acid | FCBS-enriched sequences | AA category |
|---|---|---|---|
| GAC | Asp / D | one of two codons | acidic |
| UAU | Tyr / Y | both codons | aromatic |
| UAC | Tyr / Y | both codons | aromatic |
| TGG | Trp / W | only codon | aromatic |
| GGA | Gly / G | one of four codons | small |
Notes:
Phe/F is the only aromatic amino acid not encoded by FCBS-enriched sequence motifs. Phe/F codons are UUU and UUC.
TGG (Trp/W) is the least abundant of all vertebrate codons. TAT and TAC (Tyr/Y) are also low-abundance codons.
