From: The fundamental tradeoff in genomes and proteomes of prokaryotes established by the genetic code, codon entropy, and physics of nucleic acids and proteins

Figure 5

Limits of the codon entropy in genomes with the natural amino acid composition preserved. A, Natural nucleotide composition (black); synonymous codons substituted with the GC-richest ones (red) and the GC-poorest ones (green); synonymous codons were used uniformly (blue), GCNCB. B, Natural nucleotide composition (black); reduced synonymous codons (orange) – in cases when there are several synonymous codons with the same GC saturation, only one codon was used.
