Correlation between mutation pressure, selection pressure and occurrence of amino acids [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 We have found that the effective survival time of amino acids in organisms follows a power law with respect to frequency of their occurrence in genes. We have used mutation data matrix PAM1 PET91 to calculate selection pressure on each kind of amino acid.

Information weights of nucleotides in DNA sequences [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 The coding sequence in DNA molecule is considered as a message to be transferred to receiver, the proteins, through a noisy information channel and each nucleotide is assigned a respective information weight. With the help of the nucleotide substitution matrix we estimated the lower bound of the amount of information carried out by nucleotides which is
