Symmetric properties of genetic code

 

D. R. Duplij, S. A. Duplij, N. A. Chashchin

 

Formal aspects of genetic code problem are considered. Special attention is given to the mathematical approaches for describing the coding process. A new numerical characteristic of nucleotide — determinative degree - is introduced. A model for rhombic code construction as an exterior product is proposed. Various algebraic and supersymmetric models of genetic code are discussed.
