Refactoring the Genetic Code for Increased Evolvability
mBio, 2017 The standard genetic code is robust to mutations during transcription and translation. Point mutations are likely to be synonymous or to preserve the chemical properties of the original amino acid.

Life, 2016 We have previously proposed that tRNAGly was the first tRNA and glycine was the first amino acid incorporated into the genetic code. The next two amino acids incorporated would have been the other two small hydrophilic amino acids serine and aspartic ...

Overview of tRNA Modifications in Chloroplasts
Microorganisms, 2022 The chloroplast is a promising platform for biotechnological innovation due to its compact translation machinery. Nucleotide modifications within a minimal set of tRNAs modulate codon–anticodon interactions that are crucial for translation efficiency ...

Analysis of amino acids network based on transition and transversion mutation of codons [PDF]
Network Biology, 2021 In this paper, we have developed a network of 20 amino acids based on a distance matrix of amino acids. This distance matrix is obtained by considering the transition and transversion mutation of codons.

Algebraic structures and distance based analysis of genetic code [PDF]
Network Biology, 2023 This paper explores the genetic code's algebraic structures associated with the four mRNA (or DNA) bases A, G, C, and U. We have obtained quotient group structures of codons by considering the transition and substitution mutation. In these quotient group

Detection of meta - and ortho -cleavage dioxygenases in bacterial phenol-degraders
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2006 In the last five years, in our lab, several bacterial genera capable of degrading phenol as sole carbon source were isolated from different Egyptian ecosystems. Phenol mineralization using these isolates was ranged from 55% to 0.4%.

eLifeAll living systems use an almost identical standard genetic code (SGC), in which 20 amino acids are assigned non-randomly. According to the error minimization theory, amino acids are arranged to minimize the mutational effect on protein function, while ...

Centrality based analysis of amino acids network [PDF]
Network BiologyA network is a crucial asset in biology for capturing and exploring interaction data in biological systems of many types, such as protein-protein communications, amino acid associations, gene regulation, and cellular metabolism.

Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2008 In 1985, we reported that a bacterium, Mycoplasma capricolum, used a deviant genetic code, namely UGA, a "universal" stop codon, was read as tryptophan. This finding, together with the deviant nuclear genetic codes in not a few organisms and a number of mitochondria, shows that the genetic code is not universal, and is in a state of evolution.

The functional readthrough extension of malate dehydrogenase reveals a modification of the genetic code [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Translational readthrough gives rise to C-terminally extended proteins, thereby providing the cell with new protein isoforms. These may have different properties from the parental proteins if the extensions contain functional domains.
