The meaning of this observation is unclear, but it raises the unfortunate possibility of ambiguous triplets; that is, triplets which may code more than one amino acid. However one would certainly expect such triplets to be in a minority.

Protein synthesis is a central problem for the whole of biology, and that it is in all probability closely related to gene action.

It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.

How is the base sequence, divided into codons? There is nothing in the backbone of the nucleic acid, which is perfectly regular, to show us how to group the bases into codons.

Free will is located in or near the anterior cingulate sulcus.

If revealed religions have revealed anything it is that they are usually wrong.

What seems to physicists to be a hopelessly complicated process may have been what nature found simplest, because nature could only build on what was already there.
