We argue that a primitive genetic code with only 20 separate words explains that there are 20 coded amino acids in modern life. The existence of 64 words on the modern genetic code requires modern life to read almost exclusively one strand of DNA in one direction. In our primitive code, both the ori

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 sta

## Abstract The genetic code is nearly universal, and the arrangement of the codons in the standard codon table is highly nonrandom. The three main concepts on the origin and evolution of the code are the stereochemical theory, according to which codon assignments are dictated by physicochemical af

A model for topological coding of proteins is proposed. The model is based on the capacity of hydrogen bonds (property of connectivity) to "x conformations of protein molecules. The protein chain is modeled by an n-arc graph with the following elements: vertices ( -carbon atoms), structural edges (p

Simultaneous origin of homochirality, the genetic code and its directionality

The origin of homochirality in molecules characterizing living systems has remained a mystery since Pasteur's recognition of the problem some 150 years ago.(2-5) Most theories also assume that homochirality emerged in one class of molecules (e.g. ribose) from which it was enriched in other molecules
