Amino acid composition of complete UniProt database

This vertical bar chart sample shows the amino acid composition in percent for the complete UniProtKB/ TrEMBL protein database release 2016_ 07. It was designed using statistic data from the website of UniProt protein sequence database. [ebi.ac.uk/ uniprot/ TrEMBLstats]
"The mission of UniProt is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive, high quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information." [ebi.ac.uk/ uniprot]
The column chart example "Amino acid composition of complete UniProt database" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Bar Graphs solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"Proteins are large biological molecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within living organisms, including catalyzing metabolic reactions, replicating DNA, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in folding of the protein into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity.
A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain derived from the condensation of amino acids. The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acid residues in a protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in the genetic code." [Protein. Wikipedia]
