J. Toha et Ma. Soto, NEURAL-NETWORK IN THE TRANSCRIPTION-TRANSLATION PROCESS IN EUKARYOTICCELLS AND VIRUSES, A COMPARISON, Virus genes, 10(3), 1995, pp. 211-215
The transcription-translation process in the virus-host cell system is
analyzed in terms of a virtual neural network. In contrast to finding
s in the transcription-translation process in eukaryotic cells, an inv
erse correlation between the frequency of protein amino acids and code
degeneracy and between code degeneracy and the rate of amino acid sub
stitutions was not found. Misuse of the virtual host cell network by v
irus protein synthesis could be attributed to the different amino acid
composition of the virus proteins (input unit) studied here.
