The coding hypothesis

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter highlights the coding hypothesis. The factual basis of hypothesis can be summarized as follows: Mendelian gene carries at least some protein structural information. DNA has a genetic function, but it is yet not clear that this function determining residue sequence proteins. However, there evidence information required to assemble one class RNA. Viral RNA It known whether totality structure resides in nucleic acids or not. If correct, should possible—in principle—to determine nature code. A group nucleotides, contiguous not, which are assumed an amino acid residue, “configuration.” any symbol common two more configurations, and code, called “overlapping.” number nucleotides configuration ratio.
