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 total number of amino acids in the protein chain or molecule. | The ''amino acid composition'' of a protein refers to the percentages of each amino acid in the sequence of that protein.
