In the accessible and interesting form it is told about how in the middle of the XX-th century the idea of a genetic code has arisen. Stages of studying of structure of a code are in detail traced. Where appropriate, the author tells the story of getting of own results in this area.

Many of his discoveries concerning the structure of the genetic code have been made only recently and and are unknown to a wide range of readers.

Here they are:

 

The structure of the genetic code to the six-dimensional Boolean hypercube is isomorphic

 

 

In the code basis is the description of conformations of 4-link fragment of the protein chain lays

 

 

Amino acids of the protein are a system of physical operators

 

You will learn about how these important properties of the genetic code have been found and the extent of their relevance to biology.

In the near future, the author suggests, we are waiting for the biotechnology revolution, founded on the principles of the genetic code.
