Abstract
The transcription-translation process is represented by a virtual neur al network. The input unit corresponds to the transcription process, t he hidden unit to the mRNA-ribosome-tRNA interaction and the output un it to the final state of the protein. A correlation was found between the natural amino acid frequency and the degree of codon degeneracy an d an inverse correlation between the code degeneracy and the number of amino acid substitutions in the protein.
