A minimum principle in codon-anticodon interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imposing a minimum principle in the framework of the so-called crystal basis model of the genetic code, we determine the structure of the minimum set of anticodons which allows the translational-transcription for animal mitochondrial code. The results are in very good agreement with the observed anticodons.

Crystal Basis Model: Codon-Anticodon Interaction and Genetic Code Evolution
Imposing a minimum principle in the framework of the so called crystal basis model of the genetic code, we determine the structure of the minimum set of 22 anticodons which allows the translational-transcription for animal mitochondrial code. The results are in very good agreement with the observed anticodons. Then, we analyze the evolution of the genetic code, with 20 amino acids encoded from ...
متن کاملSymmetry and Minimum Principle at the Basis of the Genetic Code
The importance of the notion of symmetry in physics is well established: could it also be the case for the genetic code? In this spirit, a model for the Genetic Code based on continuous symmetries and entitled the “Crystal Basis Model” has been proposed a few years ago. The present paper is a review of the model, of some of its first applications as well as of its recent developments. Indeed, a...

متن کاملFluorine-19 nuclear magnetic resonance study of codon-anticodon interaction in 5-fluorouracil-substituted E. coli transfer RNAs.
Codon-anticodon interaction was investigated in fully active 5-fluorouracil-substituted E. coli tRNAVal1 (anticodon FAC) by 19F NMR spectroscopy. Binding of the codon GpUpA results in the upfield shift of a 19F resonance at 3.9 ppm in the central region of the 19F NMR spectrum, whereas trinucleotides not complementary to the anticodon have no effect. The same 19F resonance shifts upfield upon f...
متن کاملAllosteric mechanism for codon-dependent tRNA selection on ribosomes.
We suggest that the interaction between a codon and its cognate tRNA induces conformational changes in the tRNA. We further suggest that sites on the ribosome preferentially bind tRNA in those conformations which require proper matching of codon and anticodon. According to this model, the codon functions as an allosteric effector which influences the conformation at various sites in the tRNA. T...
