Genetic Code: A New Understanding of Codon - Amino Acid Assignment

In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third 00-20. The ordinal number follows from the positions of belonging codons, i.e. their digrams (or “doublets”). The reading itself is a reading in quaternary numbering system if four bases possess the values within a specific logical square: A = 0, C = 1, G = 2, U = 3. By this, all splittings, distinctions and classifications of AAs appear to be in accordance to atom and nucleon number balance as well as to the other physico-chemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and polarity.
