Enjoy reading your work on DNA & threads on Biblewheel. Have been reading Richard’s site since long before he brought his biblewheel book out. Though I haven’t contributed to it. My other love is molecular biology and looking for the imprint of the creator in our own cellular make-up. cr
Your interest has largely been in the translation of RNA codons into Amino-Acids.
Just wanted to add for your interest a few things that have suggested to me that the creator may have left His imprint.
[1] - DNA distribution.
DNA in cells could be divided into 3 arenas :
--- 1 pair of sex chromosomes ....................... does this hint of the Hebrew ALEPH and father
--- 22 autosome pairs ........................................ does this hint to the Hebrew TAV, a mark, cross & written word - maybe Jesus, the Word
- from Aleph to Tav represented in the nucleus
--- together with circular DNA in the powerhouse of cells - the mitochondria -- wheels of DNA a little like the Hebrew word for wheel Galgal from 3rd Hebrew letter. Each mitochondrion in humans and many animals having one circular DNA with 37 genes.
Guess I see metaphorical hints of Father, Son & Holy Spirit in the overall layout. The 3 hebrew letters associated with the above being A,T,& G. Is it a coincidence that the beginning codon of every protein to be made in the protein factory is methionine = ATG ............... even though they stand for english named nucleosides. (If cytosine C was replaced by the Hebrew letter kaph K=11 as there is no letter C in Hebrew, then the sum of the Hebrew Letters A,T,G,K = 37 ........ 1+22+3+11 with ATG summing to 26 - elohim )

Each DNA rung is made up of :
- a 5 ringed ribose
- a 6 ringed pyramidine ---- T or C
- a purine ------- a combination of a 6 ring and 5 ring to make a double ringed structure that has 10 struts with a middle bond like a waist belt ------ A or G
- a 5 ring ribose
As the 2 strands of DNA open up and swing out then it is possible for the ring structure count of each DNA rung to become 10,5,6,5 similar to the tetragrammaton. Metaphorically the maker can be said to have hidden his name in each and every strand of DNA in every living thing.
5 elements are used to make up DNA - P,O,N,C,H -- their atomic numbers sum to 37 [ 15+8+7+6+1] and their nucleons sum to 74
[3]
Strange to me that we humans should run at 37* centigrade - ie 37 / 100ths of the temperature difference between water freezing and steaming. Funny the places that the old 37 crops up.

HISTONES
To coil and store the 2 metres of DNA in each human cell the molecule is wrapped around little spools called NUCLEOSOMES which allows the DNA to be further compacted and twisted, eventually the compression process becoming a visible chromosome. 147 base pairs of DNA [ 7x3x7] are wrapped around a nucleosome consisting of histone protein spool of 8 histone protein spokes in a 1.65 Left handed super-helical turn. Though some studies suggest 146 base pairs [73 x 2] are coiled.
{A study of the geometry of the organelles within a cell is also an interesting study. I have put a diagram below of the DNA clamp that goes along each double strand as it is replicated - an interesting symbol !
If you are interested to look at protein geometry in cells -

Anyway this email was really just to suggest our Maker has left imprints in other parts of biology as well as the codon-amino acid code ........... which IS amazing in its own right as you suggest.
