The amino acid composition of a protein refers to the percentages of each amino acid in the sequence of that protein. The percentage, sometimes called the Mole percentage, is calculated as the number of a given amino acid divided by the length of the protein chain, or total number of amino acids in the molecule.
The strongest predictor of amino acid composition is the GC-content of the organism's genome.
