Thus, contrary to conventional thinking, synonymous codon substitutions may not always be silent; changing codon usage frequency affects protein structure and function, and the frequency with which codons are used imparts vital information for the development of secondary and tertiary protein structure.

A vast reverberating, silent crash changing everything.
This index aims at comparing the ratio of non-synonymous (= amino acid changing) to synonymous (silent) changes within species (π n / π s ) and between species (D n / D s ): NI is one when evolution is neutral, higher than one under purifying selection, and lower than one in case of adaptation.
Results from this study show that there is a rapid loss of non-synonymous (amino-acid changing) mutations in the protein coding genes as early as the second generation when compared to synonymous (silent) changes.
Sequence polymorphisms (both silent and amino acid changing) have also been reported for Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (J. Wang et al., 2012).
FLcDNA transcripts from S. salar were used to identify protein coding regions for an analysis of silent and amino acid changing substitution rates in duplicated genes.
These completely inaudible syllables would be perceived by adults as silent intervals within the bout, changing its temporal properties.
Silent mutations were created by changing one nucleotide in each three leucine residues (above) without changing the amino acid.
These studies examined the ratio of amino acid changing substitutions to silent substitutions (dN/dS) to measure evolutionary rates.
Inferred substitutions along branch b suggest a strong excess of amino acid changing substitutions over silent ones, around 14 to zero.
These responses are seen in sequences as a ratio of synonymous to non-synonymous substitutions (Ka/Ks), which relates to the ratio of silent mutations to amino-acid changing mutations likely to alter protein functionality [ 54, 55].
