Amino Acids Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary.

The subject of this paper is a digital approach to the investigation of the biochemical basis of genetic processes. The digital mechanism of nucleic acid and protein bio-syntheses, the evolution of biomacromolecules and, especially, the biochemical evolution of genetic language have been analyzed by the application of cybernetic methods, information theory and system theory, respectively. This paper reports the discovery of new methods for developing the new technologies in genetics. It is about the most advanced digital technology which is based on program, cybernetics and informational systems and laws. The results in the practical application of the new technology could be useful in bioinformatics, genetics, biochemistry, medicine and other natural sciences.
