A new manifestation of the arithmetical regularity suggests the universal genetic code distinguishes the decimal system

Abstract

The author has recently found a balance of the nucleon sums in amino acids corresponding to certain groups of 24 synonymous triplet series of the genetic code (compressed in the 3'-base positions), as well as peculiar writing of these sums in the decimal system (Shcherbak, 1993, 1994; see also Verkhovod, 1994). The synonymous triplet series inside the groups were mapped by Rumer's transformation (1966) and the amino acids were "cut" into side chains and boxes (the nucleon number of the Pro box was unified by formally borrowing of a nucleon from its own side chain; zero nucleons were assigned to Stop).
