We have undertaken an exhaustive statistical analysis of the amino acid sequences at the carboxyl-terminal (C) ends of proteins, The composition of the C-terminal decapeptides differs from that expected for the given proteins from the overall amino acid composition, For E. coli, yeast, and H. sapiens it was shown that positively charged amino acid residues are over-represented while Gly residues are under-represented. The C-terminal bias, a novel feature of protein structure, should be taken into account when molecular evolution, spatial structure, translational termination and protein folding are concerned, (C) 1997 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
