Smoothed contour plot showing a variant of the landscape of 10,218 human genes: the vertical axis is the summed frequencies of alanine, proline, serine, and threonine instead of GC2; the horizontal axis is GC3. The four amino acids used to recreate this landscape are frequent, and all have cytosine in second position in four of their codons.
