Abstract—Proteins function is determined by the nature of carbon along its sequence. This carbon along the protein is determined by the nucleotides in the gene. The adenine in viral genetic material and carbon distribution along its proteins are the focus of this study. The results reveal that the presence of higher adenine content in viral material add adequate number of large number of hydrophobic residues in its proteins. The natural way of adding different sequences during development and evolution is better understood based on this carbon distribution analysis. Appropriate mutation that changes in carbon content and distribution in viral proteins might improve the functionality of the protein.

Index Terms—Carbon distribution, Viral genome, Adenine, Large hydrophobic residues, Carbon content.
