Evolution of protein lipograms: A bioinformatics problem

A protein lacking one of the 20 common amino acids is a protein lipogram. This open‐ended problem‐based learning assignment deals with the evolution of proteins with biased amino acid composition. It has students query protein and metabolic databases to test the hypothesis that natural selection has...
