Symmetries by base substitutions in the genetic code predict 2' or 3' aminoacylation of tRNAs
J. -L. Jestin, C. Soule
This letter reports complete sets of two-fold symmetries between partitions of the universal genetic code. By substituting bases at each position of the codons according to a fixed…

Degeneracy in the genetic code and its symmetries by base substitutions
Jean-Luc Jestin
Why is the genetic code the way it is? The most successful theory states that the codon assignments minimise the effects of errors arising in primordial living systems. Here a tran…

On the codon assignment of chain termination signals and the minimization of the effects of frameshift mutations
J. -L. Jestin, A. Kempf
It has been suggested that the minimization of the probability for lethal mutations is a major constraint shaping the genetic code, with the finding that the genetic code is highly…
