Gp. Klimov et Gr. Marshall, MEASURE OF SIMILARITY OF AMINO-ACIDS OR HOW TO OBTAIN THE GENETIC-CODE TABLE FROM NOTHING, Computers & mathematics with applications, 31(8), 1996, pp. 13-21
Nature selects the genetic code table to have a minimum risk caused by
a point mutation (a misprint in a text of nucleotide sequence). The p
urpose of this paper is to accurately formulate and verify this hypoth
esis. The ''nothing'' is(1) the code table is a map: codon --> amino a
cid; (2) the structure of amino acids in SD-space is known.
