The Genetic Code and RNA-Amino Acid Affinities
A significant part of the genetic code likely originated via a chemical interaction, which should be experimentally verifiable. One possible verification relates bound amino acids (or perhaps their activated congeners) and ribonucleotide sequences within cognate RNA binding sites. To introduce this interaction, I first summarize how amino acids function as targets for RNA binding. Then the expe...
متن کاملAn operational RNA code for amino acids and possible relationship to genetic code.
RNA helical oligonucleotides that recapitulate the acceptor stems of transfer RNAs, and that are devoid of the anticodon trinucleotides of the genetic code, are aminoacylated by aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. The specificity of aminoacylation is sequence dependent, and both specificity and efficiency are generally determined by only a few nucleotides proximal to the amino acid attachment site. Thi...
متن کاملGenetic Code: A New Understanding of Codon - Amino Acid Assignment
In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third 00-20. The ordinal number follows from the positions of belonging codons, i.e. their digrams (or “doublets”). The reading itself is a reading in quaternary numb...
متن کاملSynthetic polynucleotides and the amino acid code.
These equations are plotted in Figure 2, with L as the abscissa. It is evident that for Case I, C7 is independent of L and varies as the square of At, while for the extreme Case II, or large At/T, C7 becomes nearly proportional to L. These relationships are the same as those proposed by Commoner et al. from a more qualitative analysis of the model. In the previous paper, Commoner et al. demonst...
متن کاملThe Symmetry of the Genetic Code and a Universal Trend of Amino Acid Gain and Loss
Part 1 of the study intends to show that the universal trend of amino acid gain and loss discovered by Jordan et al. (2005) can be accounted for by the spontaneity of DNA typical damages. These damages lead to replacements of guanine and cytosine by thymine. Part 2 proposes a hypothesis of the evolution of the genetic code, the leading mechanism of which is the nucleotide spontaneous damage. Th...
