Abstract
The spatial distribution of GC content of fragments of the genomes of chloroplasts, mitochondria and bacteria was considered. It was found that the GC content of fragments of most genomes were distributed not chaotically, but in an orderly manner. Two principal types of distribution were found, gradient and centrally symmetric. Chloroplast genomes had only a gradient distribution. Bacteria had a centrally symmetric distribution for GC-poor genomes, and a gradient distribution for GC-rich ones. Both types of distributions occurred in mitochondria; the type of distribution depended on the type of organism.

期刊介绍：
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
