The length of coding sequence (CDS) series in bacterial genomes were regarded as a fluctuating system and characterized by the methods of statistical physics. The distribution and the correlation properties of CDS for 47 genomes were investigated. The distribution was found to be approximated by an exponential function while the correlation analysis revealed short range correlations.

Purine bias, which is usually referred to as an “ancestral codon”, is known to result in short-range correlations between nucleotides in coding sequences, and it is common in all species. We demonstrate that RWY is a more appropriate pattern than the classical RNY, and purine bias (Rrr) is the product of a network of nucleotide compensations induced by functional constraints on the physicochemical properties of proteins. Through deductions from universal correlation properties, we also demonstrate that amino acids from Miller's spark discharge experiment are compatible with functional primeval proteins at the dawn of living cell radiation on earth. These amino acids match the hydropathy and secondary structures of modern proteins.
