Sum rules of codon usage probabilities
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
In the crystal basis model of the genetic code, it is deduced that the sum of usage probabilities of the codons with C and A in the third position for the quartets and/or sextets i…
A minimum principle in mRNA editing ?
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
mRNA editing of sequences of many species is analyzed. The nature of the inserted nucleotides and the position of the insertion sites, once fixed the edited peptide chain, are expl…
Theoretical prevision of physical chemical properties of amino acids from genetic code
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
Using the crystal basis model of the genetic code, a set of relations between the physical-chemical properties of the amino acids are derived and compared with the experimental dat…
Crystalizing the genetic code
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
New developments are presented in the framework of the model introduced by the authors in refs. [1,2] and in which nucleotides as well as codons are classified in crystal bases of…
Symmetry and Codon Usage Correlations in the Genetic Code
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
The ratios of the codon usage in the quartets and sextets for the vertebrate series exhibit a correlated behaviour which fits naturally in the framework of the crystal basis model…
A crystal base for the genetic code
L. Frappat, A. Sciarrino, P. Sorba
The quantum enveloping algebra U_q(sl(2) \oplus sl(2)) in the limit q \to 0 is proposed as a symmetry algebra for the genetic code. In this approach the triplets of nucleotids or c…
