Abstract
The physical properties of amino acids were investigated in order to evaluate their possible relationship to the assignment of codons for amino acids in the genetic code. A comparison of the interconversion probability between amino acids and the distances between the amino acids for individual physical properties revealed a striking hierarchy among the physical properties. Surprisingly, it is the long-range/solvent interactions and not the short-range/stereochemical properties which are preferentially conserved in the genetic code.
