Codon and nucleotide assignments in a supersymmetric model of the genetic code

The supersymmetric model we developed for the evolution of the genetic code is elaborated. Energy considerations in nucleic acid strand modelling, using sl(2) polarity spin and sl(2/1) family box quartet symmetry, lead for the case of codons and anticodons to assignments of codons to 64-dimensional sl(6/1) ≃ A(5, 0) multiplets. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
