The sequences of bases A, T, C and G of about 100 enolase, secA and cytochr
ome DNA were analyzed for attractive or repulsive interactions by the numbe
rs T-1, T-2, T-3; r of nearest, next-nearest and third neighbor bases of th
e same kind and the concentration r = other bases/analyzed base. The area o
f possible T-1, T-2 values is limited by the linear borders T-2 = 2T(1) - 2
, T-2 = 0 or T-1 = 0 for clustering, attractive or repulsive interactions a
nd the border T-2 = -2T(1) + 2(2 - r) for a variation from repulsive to att
ractive interactions at r much less than 2. Clustering is preferred by most
bases in sequences of enolases and secA's. Major deviations with repulsive
interactions of some bases are observed fur archaea bacteria in secA and f
or highly developed animals and the human species in enolase sequences. The
borders of the structure map for enthalpy stabilized structures with maxim
um interactions are approached in few cases. Most letters of the natural la
nguages and some music notes are at the borders of the structure map. (C) 2
