Understanding of Genetic Code Degeneracy and New Way of Classifying of Protein Family: A Mathematical Approach
The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. The code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences, called codons, and amino acids. Since there are 20 amino acids and 64 possible tri-nucleotide sequences, more than one among these 64 triplets can code for a single amino acid which incorporates the problem of degeneracy. This manuscript explains the underlying logic of degeneracy of genetic code based on a mathematical point of view using a parameter named Impression. Classification of protein family is also a long standing problem in the field of Bio-chemistry and Genomics. Proteins belonging to a particular class have some similar bio-chemical properties which are of utmost importance for new drug design. Using the same parameter Impression and using graph theoretic properties we have also devised a new way of classifying a protein family.

A new integrated symmetrical table for genetic codes
Degeneracy is a salient feature of genetic codes, because there are more codons than amino acids. The conventional table for genetic codes suffers from an inability of illustrating a symmetrical nature among genetic base…
Genetic Code: Four-Codon and Non-Four-Codon Degeneracy
In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict distinction in Genetic Code Table (GCT) into some different quantums: 20, 23, 61 amino acid molecul…
Did Sequence Dependent Geometry Influence the Evolution of the Genetic Code?
The genetic code is the function from the set of codons to the set of amino acids by which a DNA sequence encodes proteins. Since the codons also influence the shape of the DNA molecule itself, the same sequence that enc…
Proteome-wide prediction of mode of inheritance and molecular mechanism underlying genetic diseases using structural interactomics
Genetic diseases can be classified according to their modes of inheritance and their underlying molecular mechanisms. Autosomal dominant disorders often result from DNA variants that cause loss-of-function, gain-of-funct…
Classifying the Stoichiometry of Virus-like Particles with Interpretable Machine Learning
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are valuable for vaccine development due to their immune-triggering properties. Understanding their stoichiometry, the number of protein subunits to form a VLP, is critical for vaccine optimis…
