Environmental perturbations lift the degeneracy of the genetic code to regulate protein levels in bacteria
Environmental perturbations lift the degeneracy of the genetic code to regulate protein levels in bacteria
The genetic code underlying protein synthesis is a canonical example of a degenerate biological system. Degeneracies in physical and biological systems can be lifted by external perturbations, thus allowing degenerate systems to exhibit a wide range of behaviors. Here we show that the degeneracy of the genetic code is lifted …
