The extension reached by the minimization of the polarity distances during the evolution of the genetic code

M Di Giulio. J Mol Evol. 1989 Oct.

Abstract

The level reached by the optimization of the polarity distances during the evolution of the genetic code was investigated. The results, although not conclusive, indicate that this optimization level is higher than the data reported in the literature. The results seem compatible with the reaching of an evolutionary minimum, with respect to the optimization of the polarity distances, by the genetic code during its formation.
