Genetic code on the diadic plane
We introduce the simple parametrization for the space of codons (triples of nucleotides) by 8 × 8 diadic plane. This diadic plane possesses the natural 2–adic ultrametric. We show that after this parametrization the genetic code will be the locally constant map of the simple form defined on the diadic plane. The local constancy of this map will describe degeneracy of the genetic code. The map o...
متن کاملGenetic code on the dyadic plane
We introduce the simple parametrization for the space of codons (triples of nucleotides) by 8 × 8 table. This table (which we call the dyadic plane) possesses the natural 2–adic ultrametric. We show that after this parametrization the genetic code will be a locally constant map of the simple form. The local constancy of this map will describe degeneracy of the genetic code. The map of the genet...
متن کاملExpanding the genetic code.
Although chemists can synthesize virtually any small organic molecule, our ability to rationally manipulate the structures of proteins is quite limited, despite their involvement in virtually every life process. For most proteins, modifications are largely restricted to substitutions among the common 20 amino acids. Herein we describe recent advances that make it possible to add new building bl...
متن کاملReprogramming the genetic code.
When Maria Leptin called to say that I had been awarded the 2010 EMBO Gold Medal, I was delighted and surprised. The roll call of past winners is impressive, and I had been at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) when Jan Löwe had received the award in 2007 for his elegant work on the bacterial cytoskeleton (Michie and Löwe, 2006). I also knew that several other LMB scientists, including B...
متن کاملThe genetic code.
After the double-helical structure of DNA was revealed in 1953, researchers had before them the chance to unlock an utterly compelling puzzle, one for the ages and fundamental to the processes of life: What code linked DNA sequences to each of the 20 amino acids that comprised proteins? Every biology textbook now lists which three RNA bases correspond to which amino acid, but in 1961, that was ...
