Rationalization of some genetic anticodonic assignments

J C Lacey Jr et al. Orig Life Evol Biosph. 1985.

Abstract

The genetic code appears to be a logic matrix in which, generally speaking, there is a correlation between the hydrophobicities of amino acids and their anticodonic nucleotides. There are several exceptions to this generality, however, and using previous data on hydrophobicity and binding constants, coupled with new data on reaction rates, we rationalize several of the anticodonic assignments.
