The Genetic Code Degeneracy and the Amino Acids Chemical Composition are Connected

Abstract

We show that our recently published Arithmetic Model of the genetic code based on Gödel Encoding is robust against symmetry transformations; specially Rumer’s one U´G, A´C and constitutes a link between the degeneracy structure and the chemical composition of the 20 canonical amino acids. As a result, several remarkable atomic patterns involving hydrogen, carbon, nucleon and atom numbers are derived. This study has no obvious practical application(s) but could, we hope, add some new knowledge concerning the physico-mathematical structure of the genetic code.

Keywords
