The occurrence frequencies of bases A, C, G and T, denoted by \(a, c, g\) and \(t\), respectively, in 1487 human: protein coding sequences have been calculated and analyzed. The analysis has been performed by a diagrammatic method presented recently, in which each coding sequence is represented by a
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
RNAs that catalyse their own aminoacylation have been recently selected in vitro. These findings support the notion that the primitive aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases may have been RNAs. In this paper, we propose a structural model for the first aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase consisting of an RNA complex form
The origin of the organisation of the genetic code reflects both the biosynthetic relationships between amino acids and the physicochemical interactions between these and anticodons; moreover, these two forces do not act independently. It must therefore be explained why it is simultaneously true tha
