A molecular dynamics calculation of the amino acid polar requirement is presented and used to score the canonical genetic code. Monte Carlo simulation shows that this computational polar requirement has been optimized by the canonical genetic code more than any previously-known measure. These results strongly support the idea that the genetic code evolved from a communal state of life prior to the root of the modern ribosomal tree of life.

In this work it is shown that 20 canonical amino acids (AAs) within genetic code appear to be a whole system with strict AAs positions; more exactly, with AAs ordinal number in three variants; first variant 00-19, second 00-21 and third 00-20. The or
dinal number follows from the positions of belonging codons, i.e. their digrams (or doublets). The reading itself is a reading in quaternary numbering system if four bases possess the values within a specific logical square: A = 0, C = 1, G = 2, U = 3. By this, all splittings, distinctions and classifications of AAs appear to be in accordance to atom and nucleon number balance as well as to the other physico-chemical properties, such as hydrophobicity and polarity.
This note represents the further progress in understanding the determination of the genetic code by Golden mean (Rakocevic, 1998). Three classes of amino acids that follow from this determination (the 7 golden amino acids, 7 of their complements, and
6 non-complements) are observed now together with two further possible splittings into 4 x 5 and 5 x 4 amino acids.
The twenty protein coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine. Amino acid metabolic
costs differ similarly, constraining their incorporation into proteins. On the other hand, sequence diversity is necessary for protein folding, function and evolution. Here we present a simple model for a cost-diversity trade-off postulating that natural proteomes minimize amino acid metabolic flux while maximizing sequence entropy. The model explains the relative abundances of amino acids across a diverse set of proteomes. We found that the data is remarkably well explained when the cost function accounts for amino acid chemical decay. More than one hundred proteomes reach comparable solutions to the trade-off by different combinations of cost and diversity. Quantifying the interplay between proteome size and entropy shows that proteomes can get optimally large and diverse.
The underlying structure of the canonical amino acid substitution matrix (aaSM) is examined by considering stepwise improvements in the differential recognition of amino acids according to their chemical properties during the branching history of the
two aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) superfamilies. The evolutionary expansion of the genetic code is described by a simple parameterization of the aaSM, in which (i) the number of distinguishable amino acid types, (ii) the matrix dimension, and (iii) the number of parameters, each increases by one for each bifurcation in an aaRS phylogeny. Parameterized matrices corresponding to trees in which the size of an amino acid sidechain is the only discernible property behind its categorization as a substrate, exclusively for a Class I or II aaRS, provide a significantly better fit to empirically determined aaSM than trees with random bifurcation patterns. A second split between polar and nonpolar amino acids in each Class effects a vastly greater further improvement. The earliest Class-separated epochs in the phylogenies of the aaRS reflect these enzymes capability to distinguish tRNAs through the recognition of acceptor stem identity elements via the minor (Class I) and major (Class II) helical grooves, which is how the ancient Operational Code functioned. The advent of tRNA recognition using the anticodon loop supports the evolution of the optimal map of amino acid chemistry found in the later Genetic Code, an essentially digital categorization, in which polarity is the major functional property, compensating for the unrefined, haphazard differentiation of amino acids achieved by the Operational Code.
This paper presents, for the first time, four diversity types of protein amino acids. The first type includes two amino acids (G, P), both without standard hydrocarbon side chains; the second one four amino acids, as two pairs [(A, L), (V, I)], all w
ith standard hydrocarbon side chains; the third type comprises the six amino acids, as three pairs [(F, Y), (H, W), (C, M)], two aromatic, two hetero aromatic and two hetero non-aromatic); finally, the fourth type consists of eight amino acids, as four pairs [(S, T), (D, E), (N, Q), (K, R)], all with a functional group which also exists in amino acid functional group (wholly presented: H2N-.CH-COOH; separately: OH, COOH, CONH2, NH2). The insight into existence of four types of diversity was possible only after an insight into the existence of some very new arithmetical regularities, which were so far unknown. Also, as for showing these four types was necessary to reveal the relationships between several key harmonic structures of the genetic code (which we presented in our previous works), this paper is also a review article of the authors researches of the genetic code. By this, the review itself shows that the said harmonic structures are connected through the same (or near the same) chemically determined amino acid pairs, 10 pairs out of the 190 possible.
