Symmetries and the genetic code. (English) Zbl 1504.92091
Darvas, György (ed.), Complex symmetries. Cham: Birkhäuser. 207-218 (2021).
Summary: This essay is devoted to a few results in investigating symmetries in the genetic coding system. The focus is on symmetry relationships in the alphabets of DNA nitrogenous bases and inherited amino acids. These relationships lead to a system of matrix representations of the alphabets of DNA that reveal new symmetry relations. The described results indicate that the genetic system can be considered as a multilevel tree of interconnected symmetries. The numeric representation of some genetic matrices is associated with the golden ratio, which has long been disclosed in the sciences for the characterisation of biological symmetries and aesthetics of proportions.
