A Dynamic Representation of mRNA Nucleotides Clarifies the Conundrum of Codon Redundancy
Résumé
The deciphering of the genetic code takes place through the reading of the nitrogenous bases, which are 4 in number. In most cases, the bases are taken three by three, thus generating 64 possible combinations with repetition. Each combination (codon) allows for the synthesis of a specific amino acid. Since the latter are only 21 in number, the codon-amino acid conversion table shows a strong redundancy. Countless efforts have been made to understand the true encryption mechanism. Here we want to add our version, which consists of associating a periodic sound based on 3 notes to each codon. RNA now becomes a dynamic object and not just a list of static instructions. In addition to a different interpretation of the genetic code, there is also a considerable reduction in redundancy, given that the number of periodic sounds that can be produced with 3 notes drops to 20 (with the addition of 4 pure frequencies). Finally we discuss the possibility of how these sounds can be generated and travel inside the double helix, and possibly emitted as biophotons.
