Figure 8From: Mathematical modeling and comparison of protein size distribution in different plant, animal, fungal and microbial species reveals a negative correlation between protein size and protein number, thus providing insight into the evolution of proteomesProtein size histograms in dicot and monocot plants (Viridiplantae). Empirical distribution of protein length in some representative plant genomes. The range of protein lengths in the x-axis is from 0 to 1,500 aa. The y-axis indicates the percentage of proteins that fall into the given interval bins of 1 aa. The letters in red indicate the theoretical model that best fits the observed distribution.
