“The” genetic code? [PDF]

open access: possibleEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2005
The DNA-based code for protein through messenger and transfer RNA is widely regarded as the code of life. But genomes are littered with other kinds of coding elements as well, and all of them probably came after a supercode for the tRNA system itself.

The Genetic Code

Scientific American, 1962
(a) The nature of the problem Genes are made of nucleic acid. Enzymes are made of protein. The amino acid sequence of a particular protein is synthesized under instruction from a particular piece of nucleic acid. Each protein is made of one or more polypeptide chains, synthesized by con?

Genetics and the Origin of the Genetic Code

Origins of Life, 1974
The genetic code has been analysed by a method similar to that used by Gregor Mendel. The current codon catalogue is shown to be symmetrically subdivisible into two discrete subcatalogues of eight quartets each by classifying the quartets as monocoding (for one amino acid only) vs heterocoding (for two amino acids or for amino acid plus nonsense).

On the Origin of the Genetic Code

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1992
The main theories which have been suggested to explain the origin of genetic code organization are discussed. The coevolution theory, which considers the genetic code as a map of the biosynthetic relationships between amino acids, seems to be based on a mechanism that links it closely to certain stages of the origin of metabolism, which makes it ...

Phylogeny of genetic codes and punctuation codes within genetic codes

Biosystems, 2015
Punctuation codons (starts, stops) delimit genes, reflect translation apparatus properties. Most codon reassignments involve punctuation. Here two complementary approaches classify natural genetic codes: (A) properties of amino acids assigned to codons (classical phylogeny), coding stops as X (A1, antitermination/suppressor tRNAs insert unknown ...

An expanding genetic code

Methods, 2005
A general method was recently developed that makes it possible to genetically encode unnatural amino acids (UAAs) with diverse physical, chemical or biological properties in Escherichia coli, yeast, and mammalian cells. Over 30 UAAs have been cotranslationally incorporated into proteins with high fidelity and efficiency by means of a unique codon and ...

Reliability in the genetic code

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1979
Abstract Base sequences of φ × 174 and MS2 viruses genomes and of some mRNAs (Coat protein fd virus, Rabbit B. Globin, Rat Growth Hormone and Human Chorionic, Somatomammotropin) show a preferential use of some amino-acid codons. Based on this observation the reliability of three non-degenerate codes are analyzed.

The path to the genetic code

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2017
In December of 1966 the last nucleotide triplet in the genetic code has been assigned (Brenner et al., 1967 [1]) thus completing years of studies aimed at deciphering the nature of the relationship between the sequences of genes and proteins. The end product, the table of the genetic code, was a crowning achievement of the quest to unravel the basic ...
